Describe the challenge you want to address:
THE CITY’S RAT PROBLEM. I see large rats running the streets at night going from trash can to trash can. The street corner trash cans are ineffective in keeping the trash from flying out on windy days and often overflows, not having to the capacity to hold as much trash.
What is the solution to the challenge?
To fight the war on rats, we should have compact trash cans that can hold more trash on every street corner so no trash is on sidewalks and city sanitation can lessen their rounds in emptying public trash cans. Saving time, money and the environment. Keeping the sidewalks free of debris for pedestrians to enjoy their walks.
