1. A system comprising: an elongated receptacle comprising a plurality of walls having a first height, with at least two of the plurality of walls having a respective pair of upper edges extending from the first height to a second height at an apex of the receptacle;an automatically openable lid comprising at least two flaps, with each of the at least two flaps being secured to a respective one of the plurality of walls of the receptacle, with a first of the at least two flaps having a first flap resting position extending downwardly from the apex at an angle along a first of the pair of upper edges of a first of the at least two of the plurality of walls and further along a first of the pair of upper edges of a second of the at least two of the plurality of walls,wherein a second of the at least two flaps has a second flap resting position extending downwardly from the apex at an angle along a second of the pair of upper edges of the first of the at least two of the plurality of walls and further along a second of the pair of upper edges of the second of the at least two of the plurality of walls, wherein a portion of the first flap in the first flap resting position overlaps a portion of the second flap in the second flap resting position, and wherein each of the first and second of the at least two flaps has an exterior surface, and wherein a solar panel is mounted to the exterior surface of at least the first or second of the at least two flaps;a communication device that receives signals concerning a delivery from a drone, wherein said signals cause:the first and second of the at least two flaps of said automatically openable lid to open to respective open positions to receive said delivery from said drone; andthe first and second of the at least two flaps of said automatically openable lid to close to respective resting positions after receipt of said delivery from said drone. 2. The system of claim 1, further comprising: said drone. 3. The system of claim 1, further comprising: a first information device that receives said signals and, responsive to said signals, said first information device causes said automatically openable lid to open to receive said delivery from said drone; anda second information device that controls said delivery from said drone. 4. The system of claim 1, further comprising: a transmitter constructed to communicate a global positioning system determined location of said elongated receptacle with a second information device controlling said delivery from said drone. 5. The system of claim 1, further comprising: a power supply comprising a battery, said power supply constructed to provide electrical energy to an information device and to open said automatically openable lid. 6. The system of claim 1, further comprising: an information device that controls said delivery from said drone. 7. The system of claim 1, further comprising: a snow detector secured to the first or the second flap, said snow detector constructed to cause said automatically openable lid to open such that snow falls off of said automatically openable lid. 8. The system of claim 1, further comprising: a power system that recharges one or more batteries of said drone. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein: said automatically openable lid has overlapping flaps, said overlapping flaps constructed to resist rain entry into said elongated receptacle. 10. The system of claim 3, wherein: said first information device is constructed to cause said system to enter a sleep mode until a signal is received from said drone. 11. The system of claim 1, wherein: said elongated receptacle comprises sheet metal. 12. The system of claim 1, wherein: hinges of said automatically openable lid do not reduce an internal volume of said elongated receptacle. 13. The system of claim 1, wherein: said automatically openable lid is opened via a single actuator. 14. The system of claim 1, wherein: said automatically openable lid is opened via dual actuators. 15. The system of claim 1, wherein: said elongated receptacle comprises a heater, said heater constructed to maintain an interior of said elongated receptacle within a predetermined temperature range. 16. The system of claim 1, wherein: said elongated receptacle is thermally insulated and comprises a heater, said heater constructed to maintain an interior of said elongated receptacle within a predetermined temperature range. 17. The system of claim 1, wherein: said elongated receptacle comprises a lock, said lock constructed to restrict access to said elongated receptacle from anyone except a user of said elongated receptacle. 18. The system of claim 1, wherein: said elongated receptacle comprises a lock, said lock constructed to restrict access to said elongated receptacle from anyone except a user of said elongated receptacle via a key. 19. The system of claim 1, wherein: said elongated receptacle comprises a lock, said lock constructed to restrict access to said elongated receptacle from anyone except a user of said elongated receptacle via a biometric identifier. 20. The system of claim 1, wherein: said elongated receptacle comprises a plurality of hinges. 21. The system of claim 1, wherein: said delivery comprises food. 22. The system of claim 1, wherein: said delivery comprises mail. 23. The system of claim 1, wherein: said delivery comprises at least one of prescriptions, pharmaceuticals, survival supplies, packages, medicine, grocery, or a retail store item.
