I haul my garbage to disposal a couple times a week out here in the boonies.
I know the type of container you are talking about.
About the only thing I can come up with is maybe constructing a properly 
posted containment area with a fence charger and closely space enough 
fencing so any critter would get a dose if he tried to get to the cans.
Put the  water tight on off switch right on the contained area. Trip it 
and take the trash to the curb.
My Brother In Law did something similar several years ago to stop dogs. 
It worked great. A couple of days though, there were some serious 
anguishing by some dogs, when they met Mr Electricity.
