Do objects respawn randomly?

I was wondering, are all the small cans and bottles and baskets randomly put throughout the map, or are they all placed at the same spot round after round?

I ask this because after viewing some films you can see one or two cans in some areas (Bombsite B in De_Dust), as opposed to having a trash yard (like the tunnel left of the CT spawn in De_Dust). It would be kind of annoying if every object was placed at the exact same spot every round.

I know the larger object stay at the same spot, like the tires, cars and barrells, but, seeing that the smaller objects are rather useless compared to the larger ones (tires can distract and barrells can injure players), it doesn't seem logical to have to place them in the same spot every round.

Same spot, every time. BTW. Small items can also injure players. In testing I threw a smoke gren at a mate, and he lost 1hp
