Narrative:
After normal flight (ind-iad) in cavu WX, normal landing, and normal taxi to our ramp the following occurred. We taxied to our ramp position (as directed via company radio). Exercising due diligence we taxied into our ramp following the commands of our (taxi) marshaller. 2 wing walkers were in their normal position with their light wands extended normally. Marshaller's actions and signals were normal. We followed marshaller commands and parked the aircraft on the painted centerline as directed. All normal. Completed shutdown and termination checklist and left aircraft. 5 mins later informed we hit an empty 'can' (our container devices) which was on a dolly inside the foul line. We did not observe the can on taxi in. Paint was scraped on the wingtip and a static wick was removed (damaged). Called my supervisor and filed a flight crew safety report.
