I saw that on TV. It seemed insane at first but digging shows that price includes a lot of overhead to design the prototypes to test.
Though the $20,000 price tag is steep for the prototypes, KTVU reported that once the city chooses a design to replace its current 3,000 trash cans with, the units are likely to cost between $3,000 and $4,000 a piece.
The report said they go through the garbage looking for food and cans they can get money for recycling while tossing everything out and not replacing it in the trash bins.

I wonder what percentage of the "plastic bag pollution problem" is from the homeless? It seems they are responsible for quite a few of the fires we have in cities too.
