DC needs to step it up... all the new streetscape projects should incorporate recycling into the street furniture and waste management systems (i.e., trash cans/waste receptacles) on the street at least in high use commercial districts.

Now that I think about it, NYC has such cans in limited places, not everywhere.


Just east of 16th Street NW, on K Street.

Oh, and why did the downtown BID replace larger waste receptacles with smaller ones? Unless they've increased the pick up frequency--doubtful--this makes little sense. Do they really think people will size their trash throwing frequency to the capacity of the containers on the street?
