Where People Park Their Stickers
This sticker will soon be removed from a metal coin collection bin that's due for a paint job.
A couple of weeks ago, The Chronicle ran into Cheryl Clifton and Jim Musser walking along Liberty Street near Ashley. They work for Republic Parking as meter collectors – you’ve probably seen them making the rounds as they transfer coins from the city’s 1,900 or so parking meters into portable metal collection bins.
What they also transfer, it turns out, are stickers. Namely, stickers that people affix to parking meters. Rather than throwing them away, Clifton and Musser (and others who’ve done this job previously) have slapped them onto the 21 collection bins.
