Great news! Maybe this will help with all of the illegal dumping that occurs in my area of the Inner Richmond like clockwork around the 15th and the end of the month (moving days!).
Not sure why people on this side of the city like to put their cr*p out on the sidewalks… here is a good solution.
Thanks!
