This effects every resident in the community - who may or may not support the business on their trash can. Then we get into first amendment rights, and censorship and ultimately - I can see myself fined for "vandalizing" my own trash barrel to remove an offending ad. Imagine all the kids walking to school on trash day only to see VIP ads in front of every home!

However, in this case, I believe the cons heavily outweigh the pros. For instance, the placement of advertisements on a trash bin placed in front of a residence would imply that the resident themselves is endorsing the item/service advertised. Since this largely may not be the case, you could have folks take it upon themselves to remove the advertising. Since this would reduce the effectiveness of the campaign, you would in turn have a more difficult time selling the ad space. When all is said and done, I believe this will cause the city to spend more money than it will bring in, between the time spent 'selling' and subsequent servicing of advertiser needs.Briannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-17291884854270622642009-11-12T10:13:13.601-05:002009-11-12T10:13:13.601-05:00We are on a slippery slope with Ward.We are on a slippery slope with Ward.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-69262818387464312042009-11-12T09:59:12.405-05:002009-11-12T09:59:12.405-05:009:08 AM, Your village called!
