The San Francisco Department of Public Works announced real-life testing of several trash can prototypes as the process to replace thousands of cans throughout the city continues.
Starting this week, custom made and off-the shelf trash can models will be placed in 26 locations throughout the city. The cans will be installed for 30 days, then moved to 26 new locations to be tested for an additional 30 days.
Public Works officials said Monday that the target cost of the mass-produced cans would be about $2,000 to $3,000 apiece. Along with the in-house cans, three off-the-shelf cans named"BearSaver","Rin Bin" and"Open Wire Mesh" are being considered. The city is looking to replace 3,000 trash cans, which were designed more than 20 years ago and have become easy targets of scavengers.
