After the elephant has made its way to the litter, it carefully sucks the cans one by one with its trunk before dropping them into a nearby trash can with one of its feet.

It also appears to have disposed of trash it had previously found in the bush before picking up the cans.

The first is easy to think of, but the second can prove to be a little more problematic.

After the elephant uses its foot to make the grip more secure, it drops the can on the floor.

But the quest to keep the grass free of rubbish is unstoppable, and it is fortunate for the second time that the can have been successfully placed in the trash.
