"This action will not only greatly reduce labor costs to remove trash, but will save money on the trash liners placed in each of these cans on a weekly basis," a release said.
Recently passed are beginning to manifest themselves.
The city is hoping to save about $40,000 per year by removing some trashcans in parks and greenbelt areas, according to a city release. The savings will come in the form of reduced labor along with fewer needed trash liners, which get replaced on a weekly basis.
The release doesn’t say exactly how many trashcans are being removed, and a spokesperson for Community Services was not available as for Friday morning.
