GR translation: their furnished dustbin

[Mike Jing]

V160.12-15, P162.38-41   He’d been out all day, the proletarian husband,
out pasting up bills to advertise some happy Max Schlepzig film fantasy,
while Leni lay pregnant, forced to turn when the pain in her back got too
bad, inside their furnished dustbin in the last of the tenement’s
Hinterhöfe.

The published translation thinks they were literally living in a dustbin,
which I find hard to believe. It gotta be a metaphor, right?
