San Francisco Officials To Decide Whether To Build Trash Can Prototypes At Up To $20k Apiece

Officials in San Francisco agreed to move forward on a proposal to manufacture 15 trash can prototypes at the cost of up to $300,000 total for a pilot program to find an alternative to the city’s existing, aging receptacles.

“$20,000 a can is ridiculous,” said Democratic Supervisor Matt Haney after a presentation earlier this week. “It sounds like a FOX News headline waiting to happen.”
