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.
A spokesman for Brighton and Hove City Council said: "This is a tragic incident. The council has warned people not to get into our bins and have put stickers on the 700 street bins.
"We are also putting them on the other 1,000 bins we have in bin stores to remind everyone of the dangers.
"In addition we have worked with groups across the city to raise the issue with vulnerable people. We really hope the message gets across so that this isn't repeated."
