Hell, if you're scanning the trash for cans to separate out and recycle, why not just scan all the rest of the trash and figure out whatever information you can from there. You could realistically scan all the trash and log every identifiable piece while only removing cans and logging all the data. Don't know how much valuable information one could pull from this data that isn't already available through sales data, but it's an interesting concept to mull over at least.
