The Muppet who lives in a trash can is Oscar the Grouch. He is a green, furry creature on the children's television program Sesame Street. Oscar is known for his love of trash, and his home is a trash can that appears normal-sized from the outside but is much bigger on the inside, containing a farm, swimming pool, and other surprising items. Oscar was originally orange in the first season but became green to reflect mold and slime from his time at Swamp Mushy Muddy. His character was created by Jim Henson and Jon Stone and is famous for being grouchy yet lovable in his own way.
