To keep the effort going, the city plans to step up measures against illegal dumpers and deploy more trash cans.
The city will announce if a date is set for a future cleanup.
The citywide cleanup was a nice community spirit kind of thing, with some positive effects also, but cleaning up trash is an ongoing process, not a once in awhile thing. Quite a bit of random trash is generated when there's a windy storm overnight and trash people have put out for collection gets blown around. This and other type of random trash might be picked up by community-minded dogooders more often if there was a trash can to put it in. There are so few public cans in this city.
The problem, as I understand it, is that with once per week trash collection and a lack of outside space for many people the public cans are used for peoples' household garbage. They are then punished by a removal of the can. Over time, of course, all the cans get removed.
