A New York City councilman on Sunday voiced concern about the city being on the hook for trash cans that cost a whoping $1,000 each. He said in 2014, a single trash can cost $545– but now cost $969, The New York Post reported. Almost the same exact trash cans can also be bought for $849 online. “There is something wrong with the way we buy things as a city,” Kallos told The Post. The Department of Citywide Administrative Services told Kallos that the price surged because of the price increase of steel.
