English title and summary written with AI from the resident's text.
The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Lots of rowhouses don't have an outdoor spot to store trash safe from rats. We should put out some street-side trash spots for blocks with lots of rowhouses in East Boston so people can store trash for trash day.
Who it helps and why
A lot of the rowhouses are more affordable and/or have older residents. This can help older folks who can't carry heavy bins up and down front steps, and young families who may produce more trash and have no safe place to store it.
