Match ugly garbage cans with mosaic artists, community groups and supporters!
There are many neighborhood groups that have started sponsoring trash can mosaics. But there are many many many mroe ugly trash cans to cover. Everyone loves them, so we need a simple way to match sponsors (businesses, neighbors, etc) with trash cans and mosaic artists. Old Oakland Neighbors has created a simple video and sponsorship page which has worked well to cover over a dozen trash cans in Old Oakland: https://www.gofundme.com/oldoaklandmosaics . But we need a way to scale this idea city wide!

And if you want to make it more awesome, allow for posting before and after photos. Many of the photos of completed ones and some maps are already online.

Here's the site that could be replicated or scaled to include all the garbage cans: http://adoptadrainoakland.com/ . I'm told by a city staffer that they do have the geocodes of all the trash cans so let's do it Oakland!
