After Four Years and $550k, SF Finally Picks This Trash Can Model

After almost four years and more than $550,000 spent on a pilot program that the city’s Department of Public Works hopes will help rid our streets of garbage, the people have spoken, and they’ve chosen the “Slim Silhouette” model as the SF’s new replacement trash can.

The futuristic Slim Silhouette model beat out some other space-age competitors, including the “Salt & Pepper”—both models reaped around 30% of positive feedback, according to a September records request to the department.

The prototype models were already beating out the off-the-shelf competitors in terms of positive feedback, but the “Bearsaver” off-the-shelf model put up a good fight.
