While it may seem attractive and it can be depending on the municipality companies will have to get permission before doing so. Businesses should not run into any trouble getting this permission because of the economic woes that exist putting municipalities' elected members in a position to accept this new concept as it can boost sales tax revenue by boosting sales. However an advertiser needs to consider some crucial points with regards to the choice of the receptacle:
