Bloomington, IL, Mandates Purchase of Special Trash Can
Sold by anybody special?
BLOOMINGTON — The City of Bloomington, which thinks it knows how to run taxi cabs and when you should mow your lawn, now knows better than you how big your trash can should be.
This city of about 76,000 people in central Illinois is now requiring residents buy $50 trash cans, with an emphasis on the 96-gallon size.
Bloomington's city council on Monday approved spending $950,000 to buy 19,000 trash cans, and those costs will be passed on to residents.
