One reason that the barrels fill up so quickly is that certain people routinely use them for household trash. The addition of more barrels has the potential to make it more convenient for this element.

Otherwise, we will just end up with more overflowing barrels throughout the neighborhood.
There are trash barrels that are covered on top so that household trash can not fit.
Also, the same for recycles. Big Bellies take up a lot of space. There is also a need for more smoke poles.
Cigarette butts are everywhere!
