It's HUDseen Quiz Time Again!

HUDseen recently made mention of our new public trash receptacles which DPW Superintendent Rob Perry decided the city needed to replace our longtime, classy and trusty wooden receptacles with.  With his introduction to the new receptacles during January's informal meeting (after they had been paid for and delivered), Perry claimed that the new "garbage cans" were made of "polycarbon."  Actually, it turns out, he was just making shit up again.  The new RECEPTACLES are made of "recycled plastic," which is not polycarbon at all, though it does sound so much nicer, doesn't it?  Try to keep the word plastic out of it if you can -- it sounds so cheap!  Perry did not mention how much the city spent on the new "garbage cans"/trash receptacles that he felt we needed.  But he did say that the plastic slats will hold up better over time and are less apt to be vandalized than the wood slats.  (Actually, the wooden slats were rarely, if ever, vandalized. The lids were regularly tagged and stickered, not the slats!  But that's not important to Perry!)

Since our DPW Superintendent failed to mention the cost involved in replacing 9 of our old-school reliable wooden slatted trash receptacles with plastic ones, HUDseen, with invoice in hand, will give readers the chance to guess how much taxpayers spent on our new "garbage cans."

Are you ready for this week's quiz, kids?

How much did the taxpayers of Hudson, NY pay for each of the 9 new tan-colored RECYCLED PLASTIC public trash receptacles which DPW recently purchased for us and were installed along Warren Street?  

Was it:

A) Between $200 - $499 

B) Between $500 - $799

C) Between $800 - $999

or D) over $1,000 for one new plastic "garbage can"?

The purchase included the exterior plastic slats you see; the metal frame which the slats are attached to; the metal lid; and a common 32-gallon plastic container inside that fills with trash and is lifted out and emptied by DPW.

Perry calls them "garbage cans" which are made of
"polycarbon," while the catalog he purchased
them from calls them "trash receptacles"
made of "recycled plastic."  (Notice the padlock 
is not locked.)

Stay tuned to HUDseen for the answer, as well as even more fun and exciting facts that you are dying to know about our new recycled plastic "garbage cans."
