The San Francisco Department of Public Works is trying to find the right design to replace more than 3,000 public trash cans throughout the city.

The city is testing three prototype designs in its pilot program, along with already available models, KTVU reported. In a statement, Degrafinried described the three designs as"durable, hard to tamper with, easy to service and aesthetically pleasing."

San Francisco’s Department of Public Works is considering spending $20K a piece on 15 prototype cans in three designs. Though the $20,000 price tag is steep for the prototypes, KTVU reported that once the city chooses a design to replace its current 3,000 trash cans with, the units are likely to cost between $3,000 and $4,000 a piece. During a committee meeting on Wednesday, San Francisco Supervisor Matt Haney said he was concerned about the steep price of the prototypes, even though he supports replacing the city’s trash cans, KTVU reported.

"How many prototype trash cans are are being produced and what is the price of them," Haney said, per KTVU."I saw the line item said 15 of them for $300,000? That is an extraordinary cost per can."
