In general, no. But it depends greatly on the weight of the can, contents and the overall size of the garbage can.
Safe lifting technique dictates that "safe" lifts all occur within the zone between your knees (start lifts with object about two feet above the floor) and your belly button (so that the weight at the end of the lift is centered about your own body's center of gravity).
Picking up heavy objects from the floor is less safe (due to back and knee strain) as is lifting objects above your chest level or shoulders (shoulder, neck and wrist strains). Design jobs that require lifting to keep tasks within the safe lift zone. Use benches, adjustable work tables, and lift gates that allow you to keep manual lifting tasks in the zone from your knees to your torso.
Otherwise, look at using mechanical means like davit cranes, cart tippers, or bin lifters to eliminate the risk of shoulder, back, and neck injuries due to unsafe lifting postures and forces.
