Crews say the next steps before releasing a request for mass production is securing funding and moving through multiple city approval processes.
Officials expect the price of the garbage cans to become considerably more cost-efficient in mass production, roughly $2,000 to $3,000 apiece.
Alongside its competitors, crews placed the Slim Silhouette in various locations around the city this summer to see if the design could successfully be rummage-resistant and easy to clean. In an online and in-person public feedback survey, residents said the Slim Silhouette was both the most durable and the most aesthetically pleasing for its slim side profile that allowed more room for walking on the sidewalk.
Public Works said the winning design will be tweaked to improve its performance, like resizing its opening, redesigning the symbol for recycle exchange and adjusting its locking mechanism. The new trash cans will also have a sensor installed in them to notify crews of when they are nearing capacity and prevent overflow.
