4. He's marking territory. This is a tough one to fix. Moth balls are
okay and a deterent -- unless he gets really serious about it and starts
****ing on the mothballs. You can also start moving the bins around at a
random. Take the metal out of the various bins, clean them very thoroughly
with strong-smelling detergent, except for one that you leave as stinky as
he gets it. Put a bit of litter in that one and see if he goes for it.
You might get him to be satisfied with the idea that that one bin is for
him. Also, put some sharp (e.g., rods) upright around the edges so that he
doesn't have a safe place to squat .. cats hate to have their comfort
assailed.

5. A really persistent territory marker can't be easily cured. You might
try chucking him up in a four-jaw, or mounted between centers in the obvious
places, with a lathe dog around his neck.
A high speed belt grinder works well.
