Mayor Jim Suttle is scheduled to announce the plan at a press conference today.

The bins will include one side for trash and the other side for recyclables — plastic, aluminum and paper.

The cost of the bins and how many bins downtown visitors can expect were to be announced today

Excellent

I had already seen a few around in the last year or so. Maybe they were the "pilot" of this project.
