The Norm…
The Issues:
Animals, Birds, Wind and
Over-Flowing Trash Cans
• Would this keep a bear
out?
• Do these doors meet
ADA requirements?
Water gets in
and garbage gets out…
Pollutes ground water and
attracts nuisance pests such
as rodents, birds and insects.
VS.
One-piece solid
construction – once
the trash goes in the
can, it stays in the can!
Consolidation
The Possibilities…
The Solutions =

Opportunities for
Partnerships and Sponsorships “Adopt a Can” opportunities can be offered to local businesses.
The sponsor would receive brand recognition by installing a permanent
sign on the can.
Facility user groups could be encouraged to sponsor a can because they
benefit most from the conversion.

Recreation says, “if I converted the whole parks system
over, I would have a ROI in three years.”

“they work even better than we thought.”
