Slightly off-topic?

The City of Laconia had a classified ad officially accepting bids for 200 curbside recycling containers. These 200 containers would be set out in public areas, presumably next to a sidewalk all across Laconia, for people to deposit plastic bottles, aluminum soda cans, various recyclable containers, and the purpose is to reduce the amount of "single stream" refuse material that gets tossed out with individual "trash-pay as you throw" bags that go to the transfer station.

Wonder what these 'neighborhood recycle-deposit containers' will look like? Could well be they will have some arty-designer circular arrows design, with the plastic and aluminum all going round and round, getting re-used, to send an educational message to the neighborhood? Maybe they could be disguised to look exactly like a U.S. Postal letter box, as opposed to a trash can?
