San Francisco has proposed installing new prototype trash cans that cost a whopping $20,000 each.
Local news KRON4 spoke with San Francisco Public Works, Aleric Degrafinried, who defended the cost associated with the prototype trash cans shaped like a fancy salt shaker.
City officials agreed Wednesday to build 15 trash can prototypes, five each of three different designs.
Supervisor Matt Haney told the San Francisco Chronicle that he was not thrilled when he learned about the "ridiculous" $20,000 trash cans.
"Our streets and our sidewalks are a mess and the cans we have out there now are actually part of the problem," Haney said. "At this point, they've already come up with designs, we won't save time now to go backward, but it's really frustrating that they [Public Works] chose this route."
If the new trash cans are successful during pilot runs - the city plans to pick one design that will eventually replace 3,000 existing green trash cans scattered around the metro area. Mass-producing the prototype trash can would be around $2,000 to $3,000. Current costs for a trash can are approximately $1,200.
Haney said he held discussions with Public Works officials about reducing costs of the prototype trash can program. He said Public Works could've used models from other cities instead of reinventing the wheel.
Illegal street vendors have taken over a commercial strip in the Bronx NY. in the Bronx, where illegal street vendors and gamblers "have taken over a commercial strip," according to the New York Post. The takeover is a result of new city laws that make it impossible for the NYPD to confiscate goods or even demand ID from street vendors.
The new law went into effect in May 2021 and moved enforcement away from NYPD and to the city's Department of Consumer Affairs and Worker Protection. Someone from the agency told the Post the law doesn't even go into effect until September.
