Public Works installs, maintains and repairs about 3,500 public trash cans throughout the City. We prioritize placing cans along busy commercial corridors, plazas, bus stops, the perimeter of parks and other areas with a lot of foot traffic so people walking down the street or waiting for a bus have an appropriate place to toss gum wrappers, coffee cups and other casual litter.
