"Each model of the newly-selected “Slim Silhouette” will cost $2,000 to $3,000, but prototypes the city tested out cost $12,000 to $20,000 each."

They couldn't go to Home Depot and get a good trash can for $40?

I'm sure the people of San Francisco are relieved that their tax dollars are being spent on such important issues as trash cans - and not homeless, drug addicted, filthy streets.

LIb insanity....ain’t nothin’ like it.

The people of ancient Britain built Stone Henge.

The Pharaohs build the pyramids.

Caesar built the Coliseum.

Paris build Notre Dame.

San Fransisco built a trash can.

[chuckee]

It’s rummage resistant which is good. You can’t retrieve your needle after you have tossed it...nor can anyone else

[jacknhoo]

Oh how wonderful ingenuity of Leftists. How blessed San Francisco is to have so much focus and industriousness on trashy culture.

[xp38]

That’s almost defence department level spending! Good job SF! Maybe you could recoup costs by selling the design to other leftie cities.

They would wind up in stolen shopping carts.

[butlerweave]

so people hated recycling and threw the garbage into city trash cans and the small holes will stop that ,LOL

[Clutch Martin]

Turn it sideways and start the bbq...

A half a million dollars to design a trash can?

How stupid can they be?

[Drew68]

The city chose the model because it’s tamper-resistant, easy to clean and durable; the city’s public works website boasts that the design “make[s] rummaging more difficult” and that the stainless steel pipe construction leaves “less space for graffiti tags.”

From San Francisco's $1.7 million porta potty to these new $550k trash cans, every effort and expense needs to be designed in a manner to prevent San Francisco's own residents from intentionally destroying them.

A civilized society could enjoy cheap public restrooms and trash cans but not San Francisco.

"San Francisco Spent $550K And Four Years Designing A New Trash Can. Here Are The Results"

Anybody who cannot see the absurdity of this--and the absurdity of the entire woke/"liberal"/leftist/Democrat Party takeover of America--is hopelessly stupid--stupid and dangerous--and should not be allowed in any position of responsibility, including the vote or holding any position of responsibility.

Politicians spend money like it isn’t theirs.

It's a chromemobile.

[gathersnomoss]

Follow the contract.

[upchuck]

I’m trying real hard to reimage the trash can as it really will be: surrounded by mounds of feces and used drug needles.

[Flint]

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.

[ConservativeMind]

San Francisco needs designer toilets for the homeless, too.

[ro_dreaming]

What do they expect people to put IN trash cans when there’s open poopin’ and drug shootin’ going on in the streets?
