treet at our neighborhood's busiest locations.
The BigBelly receptacles are already in use, but you can help us brand them for the neighborhood and passersby. The Lincoln Square BID is in the process of wrapping the compactors with some creative copy and imaging. Can you think of a tidy tag line, a hygienic haiku, or a spotless sonnet that would be perfect on our new receptacles? If so,
