About the trash cans

View full size image of Three rectangular trash cans are shown. The top of the cans are black with the city of Portland seal in white on one side. Artwork covers most of the cans. The first can shows a person's face with bright geometrical shapes around it (artist is Latoya Lovely). The second shows a small bird with wings open and geometrical shapes behind it (artist is Alex Chiu). The third shows colorful line and paint sketches of people laughing and dancing (artist is Molly Mendoza).

The art on the outside of the new public trash cans was designed by local artists and chosen in partnership with local community members.

The artists for the North cans are Latoya Lovely, Molly Mendoza, and Alex Chiu. Each artist provided art for two cans. 

The trash cans will be emptied twice a week by COR Disposal. COR Disposal is a Black-owned, B Corp certified company located in East Portland. 

Cans have a side attachment for deposit beverage bottles, which can be collected by community members.
