All households in Baltimore will be given a huge, durable trash can on wheels under a $10 million plan Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced Monday to better control the city's rat population and help prevent sanitation worker injuries.
The city expects to deliver the trash cans — which will be emblazoned with the city seal — by early next year. The 64-gallon receptacles will come with two wheels, a tight-fitting lid and a tracking device.
Rawlings-Blake said she wants to build on the success of a pilot program launched a year ago that provided more than 9,000 trash cans to residents in Belair-Edison and the Mondawmin area. Calls for rat extermination dropped by nearly 75 percent, she said. And she said fewer workers were injured lifting trash cans, though she did not provide figures.

So this is their answer to the question of, "How do we clean up our city?", no look at the crime plague?
When is the gov't going to start wiping their butts cause they can't figure that one out either?
Start with the city council there Trash along wth mosley.
They will all be stolen.
You can't make this up. How much do these black lives matter need us to do for them? No shame in their game. I'd be mortified if I needed this much help everyday. Even special need people can do more for themselves than these useless people.
First why don't they quit throwing their trash in the street, bottles, wrappers,bags, etc. Personal responsibility would go much further then $10 million, I wonder who was sitting in that "think tank?"
Even critical needs persons ask for less help and more oftendo for themselves

Isn't this the truth! There is nothing anyone can do to 'improve the lives' of the pathetically ignorant uncivilized.
They are going to use the trash cans as much as they pay attention to any else including laws and gun control laws.
Look at Sby where there is a bit more civility than Baltimore City for an example. How many times have people gone into neighborhoods not even their own and cleaned them up only to have the ungrateful useless residents crap them back up in short order.
Hope their not made of metal. They will be sold off to he scrap yard within 30 days.
Good place for the thugs to hide there illegal gunz....
they got one big enough for Rawlings-Blake??...
Hardy har har when have you ever seen a 2 wheeled 64 gallon trashcan made if metal. Lame joke.
If the residents took pride in the city and cleaned up after themselves this would not be an issue.
These trash cans do not come cheap. We bought one not long ago and it was 70 dollars.

They do have a thick heavy metal bar on them.
One more thing they can set on fire when the next riot starts.
The Rats all pull the D lever. Problem is not solved.
Black trash cans matter!
