City Receives No-Cost Street Receptacle Plan
Confronted by Joe Peck of Boston, Spotless Streets proposes installing 200 green steel waste receptacles at intersections to be chosen by city officials. The company would maintain them, label streets, and assume no liability beyond emptying contents. The city would owe nothing upfront, paying only if the program increases costs. Each unit weighs 215 pounds, stands five feet high, and costs Spotless Streets about 115 dollars, totaling roughly 23 000 dollars for 200 units.
