Trash Cans and Recycling Bins at the <br />Parks & Beaches <br />Parks would need to purchase approximately 27 trash cans or recycling bins, <br />considering the size and usage of the parks. The cost of purchasing new standalone <br />trash cans can vary by type and model, ranging from $16,000 to $27,000. In contrast, <br />purchasing combined trash and recycling bins would cost between $32,000 and <br />$49,000, depending on the chosen type and model. <br />Once permanent trash cans are installed at the park sites, staff will be responsible for <br />emptying and disposing of trash and recycling. The impact on staff time will vary by <br />season, and depending on park activity levels. Current estimates suggest that staff <br />will need to spend about 4-6 hours per week on this task, although additional time <br />may be required for upkeep and maintenance of the receptacles. Approximate <br />equipment and labor costs per week would be $736, this would vary according to the <br />season, available staff and time spent on the activity. <br />The collected trash will be deposited and picked up at the Public Works building, <br />which may incur some additional pickup fees. However, these costs could be offset by <br />the existing trash collection fee currently being charged at the parks. <br />10
