The new units will be installed at Merritt Community Recreation Area, Washington Square Park, Fairmont Park, Franklin Park Tot Lot, Old Main Park, Duluth Heights Community Recreation Area and two along the new Cross City Trail (locations to yet be determined).
This is single source procurement. The city council authorized the purchase of ten of these units through passage of Resolution 11-0158 on March 28, 2011.

The park maintenance division has standardized on this model of trash/recycling kiosk.
