Trash can campaign in Bridgeport

The city of Bridgeport is making a new push in its anti-litter campaign by encouraging business owners to participate in an “Adopt a Trash Can” campaign and put cans provided by the city in front of businesses.

The adoption effort is part of Bridgeport”™s “Park City Pickin”™ It Up” campaign. Mayor Joe Ganim introduced the trash can program on May 22. Merchants have to agree to put in trash can liners and empty the cans each day. If they don”™t do the proper maintenance, they could face fines. After a merchant signs a two-page agreement, the city will deliver a free trash can.
