Wooden Trash Can Jemison Trail
Mountain Brook’s 33 wooden trash cans, such as those along Jemison Trail, will soon to be replaced with green metal cans.
The 33 old wooden trash cans around Mountain Brook’s sports fields and parks will soon to be replaced with new, more decorative metal containers.
The new metal containers will resemble the green trashcans in Cahaba River Walk, but instead of being open at the top, they will have a domed lid to keep out rainwater.
Mountain Brook City Council has already approved the cost of the new trashcans, approximately $26,000, in the yearly budget. Once the purchase order has been submitted, the new trashcans will be installed within the next 10-12 weeks, according to Shanda Williams, Mountain Brook Parks and Recreations director.
