Quote:Police believe Mr Williams, who had been out with a friend and was seen in public houses in Brighton until 0100 BST on Sunday, had been in one of the large wheelie bin used by blocks of flats or businesses.
Officers are investigating how he came to be there and are treating his death as unexplained rather than suspicious.
The GMB union has called for large wheelie bins to be checked individually before they are emptied into refuse trucks.
Spokesman Robert Macey said the way they were currently collected in Brighton meant people could get trapped inside before being loaded on a cart.
