New Trash Cans in MAD

We’ve completed purchasing and installing new types of trash cans. Some worked others did not. OBMA installed 2 new trash cans which are located at the corner of Newport & Bacon and Newport and Cable. Two additional “test’” trash cans were installed on adjacent corners. Any feedback is great. We are going to replace numerous trash cans in 2023.
