FROM:Vice-Mayor Kristen Rosen Gonzalez 
DATE:April  6, 2022
 



SUBJECT:REFERRAL TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY AND NEIGHBORHOOD QUALITY OF LIFE COMMITTEE ABOUT PURCHASING NEW AND MORE MODERN TRASH RECEPTACLES.

BACKGROUND/HISTORY

On a recent trip to Paris, I noticed these simple garbage cans across the City—actually, they have no cans, just a bag. They can be different types of designs, but the idea is the same—you eliminate the can, only have the bag, and the entire receptacle becomes cleaner, easier to maintain/change, and more sanitary. I would like to explore this idea with a citywide pilot program for Euro-style trashcans. I think that with the right Art Deco design, they would improve the aesthetics of our current trashcans (some of which look like chain-link fences), improve the facility of maintaining and changing them, and eliminate the need to clean the can. This is a win-win for everyone, so let’s talk “trash” at Neighborhoods.
