Elegant solution.

I imagine it gets pretty stinky around that tractor after a day of mowing through old pee jugs in the right of way.

What kind of person would be disgusting enough to leave a jug of pee beside the road?
Given that you used the word “jug”, I assume this happens in the US, as “jug” only means bottle in the US, to the best of my knowledge.

Yes, here in the U.S., long-haul truckers and other long distance drivers (not all of either one, but enough of both) use gallon milk jugs, Gatorade bottles, or whatever other container might be handy to relieve themselves into, and when the time comes to get rid of the containers, many just toss them out the window. I participated in a roadside cleanup a number of years ago and discovered that those things were everywhere. In fact, they didn't warn us about snakes, but about "piss jugs." It follows in the grand tradition of our railroads, which used to...maybe, still do...dump their toilets on the tracks as they moved along.

That’s what happens when you let money rule.

California converted all its road buoy storage bunkers into housing for the homeless. Now they store them on public roads, periodically moving them about to conceal their ineptitude.

I once counted around a thousand road buoys deploy-stored along Hawthorne Boulevard while they planted bigger rocks in the "decorative" lane divider.

I couldn't tell if this was a joke or real, so I googled road buoy storage bunker homeless and the first thing that came up was an underground bunker at a San Jose homeless encampment with $100K of stolen tools and firearms.

In our town, the library is a homeless hangout. Homeless people smoke meth in the library bathroom, and there were two incidents where library employees had to be medically evaluated for meth exposure after using the bathroom. Last month they had to shut down the library to decontaminate it because the meth residue in the HVAC system and on the furniture was so bad. New York Times article: A Colorado Library Closed Because of Meth Contamination

Then the same thing happened at three other libraries in surrounding towns: 4th Colorado Library Closes for Meth Contamination.

To address the problem, our county government purchased a house in a residential neighborhood to convert into a methamphetamine addiction recovery home. They won't say where it is because they don't want backlash from the neighbors, but they plan to purchase at least two more local houses for the same purpose.

I may be wrong, but I think what you are referring to is a plan to let homeless people store their belongings in lockable storage containers that resemble wheeled municipal trash receptacles. If I'm not mistaken, those are also used to store traffic monitoring and control equipment near work areas. No one will be living in them.
