Beaverton believes that you don't have to be Oscar the Grouch to see beauty in a trash can.

The city is asking artists to submit images for the "2016 Beautify Beaverton Creator Container" project.

The winning images will be printed on a high-quality, adhesive vinyl material and placed on more team 40 trash cans around the city.
