Gillespie needs more trash cans—and we're doing something about it
Walk down our main streets and you'll see litter scattered everywhere. It's not because people are careless—it's because there literally aren't enough trash cans. When you can't find a place to throw away garbage, it ends up on the ground.
I started a petition asking our city officials and local businesses to install more trash cans in key areas: main streets, parks, and high-traffic public spaces. This isn't complicated—studies show that strategic trash can placement can cut litter by up to 45%. A few more bins could genuinely transform how our community looks and feels.
Has anyone else walked around Gillespie lately and thought, "Man, it could be so much cleaner?" I know this might seem small, but it matters. If you think our city deserves better, consider signing and sharing the petition. Let's show our leaders that we care about keeping Gillespie beautiful.
