Where I lived prior to moving here all state and county parks removed trash cans. It was carry in carry out. Guess what..they saved money and the parks were cleaner
So, you called the district and talked to one person who gave you a ridiculous answer. Obviously, if you put trash cans anywhere, you need to pay someone to empty them. If you remove the cans, you no longer need to pay for the service. Is the district assuming that, without the cans, people will throw trash on the ground? If so, they need trash cans everywhere.
