I bet the $2000 top $3000 does not include the cost to anchor them into the concrete sidewalk. At government employee rates it likely will add another $5000 each to the cost of deploying them.
San Francisco needs designer toilets for the homeless, too.
You beat me to it"
What do they expect people to put IN trash cans when there’s open poopin’ and drug shootin’ going on in the streets?
$2000-$3000? Does that include the kickback?
And, didn’t even give him credit.
They can call it “The Glory Hole”
And give you an STD in the process.
Are the recycling centers near you privately owned?
There are some private metal recycling places around here but for the most part they just melt it down.
The public ones are run by the county but they don’t pay anything.
Oh good point there. The city issues us a garbage can (the garbage trucks have these mechanical arms that pick up the cans, dump the contents into the truck, and put them back where they were. If you need a second can you have to buy it (not hugely expensive but you can’t get them at Home Depot).
So they could have went to home depot, bought a bunch of zinc coated metal ones, and just bolted them down.
Everything has to be bolted down, otherwise it will be stolen and sexually assaulted.
That's nothin' -- over the last four decades, the women of the Los Angeles area have spent millions on new cans.
I was expecting something that could maybe accept used needles safely alongside trash, but I see I was too optimistic. Usually, I’m the opposite.
Well, guess those major cities will still be littered with garbage and spent drug paraphernalia. Those cans don’t appear to be able to hold the same amount of trash as the old ones.
The Pharaohs build the pyramids.
Caesar built the Coliseum.
Paris build Notre Dame.
San Francisco built a trash can.
Well written!
On Canoga Avenue there are homeless tents setup. One stretch has nothing but trash up and down the sidewalk. They do not even use a trash can!!
Some of the recycling centers around me are privately owned, some not. There has been a crackdown recently b/c so much stolen metal was being turned in to the private ones - which pay $$ for cans, bottles, etc.
I understand you have to leave some form of ID for turning things in - but I’m sure a few dollars kicked back will solve that. We had the copper pipes stolen out of our school one year - and the copper wiring in the air conditioning units as well.
Imagine if this money would go to humane causes.
Humane... like maybe, trash cans that can serve as one-person homeless shelters. :^)
