Hey there! That's a fantastic initiative to improve community cleanliness. Mounting an additional litter bag to an existing public trash can pole is a common need, especially in high-traffic urban areas. Here’s a simple, effective, and non-damaging method that anyone can do.
The most reliable way is to use heavy-duty zip ties or durable bungee cords. These are inexpensive, easy to find at any hardware store, and won't damage the public property.
First, choose a sturdy, weather-resistant litter bag, preferably made from recycled or heavy-duty plastic. Position the bag on the pole at a convenient height, making sure it doesn't block access to the main trash can.
Then, simply loop two or three strong zip ties around the pole and through the bag's hanging loops or its top hem. Pull them tight until the bag is securely fastened. For a slightly more flexible option that's easier to remove for emptying, you can use a bungee cord with hooks. Wrap the cord around the pole and hook it through the bag's handles.
The key is to ensure it's secure against wind and accidental knocks but doesn't permanently alter the pole. This simple DIY solution can significantly help keep our streets cleaner. Thanks for taking action
