Big Green cans headed to mayor's house

PROVIDENCE -- The big green cans are almost everywhere. Except for a few East Side neighborhoods, like the north Elmgrove area where Providence Mayor David N. Cicilline lives.

But according to an announcement released this afternoon, Cicilline will be the last city resident to receive a big green can, 60,000 of which have been distributed this year to help reduce the city's rat population.

“Now on trash day, curbs in every neighborhood of our city are lined with what I consider our single most important tool in reducing the rodent population and creating cleaner neighborhoods – big green cans,” Cicilline said in a statement.

The final big green can is set to be delivered to Cicilline's 702 Elmgrove Ave. home Wednesday at 10:30 a.m.
