Some thirty or so years ago, San Francisco introduced industrial trash cans to the city sidewalks. It was reported that these stone receptacles cost over $1,000, in ’70s dollars of course. Some were in shock.
But jump ahead thirty years and the Hummer of trash cans has become standard urban fare.
One, however, bit the bullet over the weekend during The Carlsbad 5,000 April 2-3, 2005. An unknown force of significant magnitude must have caused the fatal blow leaving raw trash and a naked receptacle.
See for yourself.
