The city of San Francisco is looking to roll out a series of new trash cans that will cost a staggering $20,000 each.
Officials are currently trying to get 15 of the expensive trash cans made so they can test them on San Francisco streets as part of a pilot program.
Officials have planned for three years now to replace the 3,000 existing green trash cans currently scattered across the city.
San Francisco Public Works, which is the department in charge of replacing the trash cans, proposed the new prototypes on Wednesday, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Each will cost between $12,000 and $20,000 each.

If the pilot program is a success, the department said mass production of the trash cans would cost between $2,000 to $3,000 each.
The current green trash cans on city sidewalks cost just over $1,200 each to make.
Public Works is asking for between $537,000 to $840,000
