A Long-Awaited Refresh for S.F.'s Trash Cans
San Francisco’s trash cans have problems. From debris littering the streets around them, to the — more often than not — broken recycling compartments, these green garbage receptacles are past their intended life span.

This is a refreshed version of our 2022 episode about the trash cans with an update at the end.
