Chisinau to have ads on garbage bins

A company from Chisinau has inked a contract with the City Hall allowing it to place 300 garbage cans and carry the waste. Instead, it is permitted to stick advertising on them. The bins will be placed along Pushkin, Banulescu-Bodoni streets and Stefan cel Mare ave. The first ones are already there, Info-Prim Neo reports. General mayor Dorin Chirtoaca has told journalists on Monday such a bin costs 300 euros. Vitalie Braga, the manager of “Public Design” firm, says he does not know how profitable the investment is going to be. “We don't have contracts with entities eager to place their ads on the garbage cans. We'll stick social advertising for a start,” Vitalie Braga said. According to the businessman, the waste will be lifted even twice a day if necessary. Vitalie Braga says some of the bins have already been damaged after being placed. He calls on the Chisinau residents to maintain the city clean. If the project turns out to be a success, such cans will be placed all over the city.
