District 3 Supervisor Danny Sauter expressed concerns about the lack of consistency and availability of trash cans in San Francisco during a public hearing. He noted that the bins mysteriously disappear and their placement depends on public demand rather than policy. Although community members advocate for more cans, city officials, including Ian Schenider from the Department of Public Works, stated that the current ratio is satisfactory. Comparisons are drawn to other cities with greater bins per square mile, highlighting the discrepancy in San Francisco's approach, where a unique trash can design initiative has been underway since 2018.
"Placement and removal is simply the result of who makes the most noise." John City's bins are elusive, disappearing overnight, prompting cries for more in neighborhoods.
"I don't know that there's a massive increase that's necessary," said government affairs manager Ian Schenider, despite public demands for additional cans.
