Today I tried drilling a hole in the guardrail - but the drill bit
wouldn't make a dent.

What would you use to drill a hole suitable for mounting a garbage can
where there is no electricity available?

Some sort of glue (RTV) comes to mind.

As well as the 'center punch' and "lean on it" advice, get a titanium
drill bit. Probably not really needed but
they are designed for 'hard material'.
