Having to stick your hand into a hidden handle on a public trash can…eww.

Seems like a straight pushing job, so you could probably get away with using a stick. But someone who has used one of these may want to chime in.
I have used one of these cans. It is a straight push. You should accomplish it with a strong and properly sized stick.
If it can be opened with a stick, then a bear could probably work out how to open it with a stick
That's not how any of this works lol.
A crow could do it if it was big enough.
If my granny had wheels she would be a bike.

Read the directions. There is an inner latch that must be manipulated
The directions just say "push inner latch forward" which sounds feasible with a stick - unless it's more complicated than that makes it sound?
