Unsecured trash can at RTA bus stop on Whiskey Bottom Rd near Harmony Lane in North Laurel.

The metal trash can has tipped over for a second time in two weeks and is lying along the curb. I have temporarily secured it with the chain tied to a signpost but it will break loose again. If you have the key to the padlock, the chain can be tied around the can to prevent a recurrence. THE CAN IS A DANGER TO VEHICLE TRAFFIC if left unsecured and can get blown into the travel lanes.

As of 4/21/24, the trash can has been removed from its chain and is once again, left unsecured on the sidewalk at this RTA bus stop. The next wind storm will likely send the metal can rolling into the street again. If someone from RTA who has a key to the lock on the chain can come to the site and tie up the can securely, the problem will be resolved.
