Halima needs a new trash can for her kitchen to maintain a cleaner and healthier living space. Concerns about kitchen cleanliness have prompted her housing program staff to recommend replacing her broken trash can, which has attracted bugs. A new trash can with a secure lid would help her manage waste more effectively, reduce pest issues, and keep her kitchen sanitary.
