This has been going on for years and years. You would think with todays technology there is a Seagull resistant trash can available...anything is better than what has been used for the last 10-20 years. It's gotta be more cost effective than paying the city workers clean this up. I'm sure we could get some residents to donate money to the city for better trash cans at least along the boulevard. I know I would!

We will add the boulevard barrels to our Saturday and Sunday afternoon trash run provided we can access the barrels with the recent crowds. The problem is not the type of barrel. The problem is people are dumping large bags of trash on top of the barrels and the seagulls are getting into the trash that way.

Thank you for reporting this issue to us. We are pleased to report back to you that this issue is now resolved. We are adding to our afternoon pickup run
