Kalama's downtown area now features 22 hand-painted trash can lids created by local artists with ties to Kalama and Cowlitz County. The artwork, described as a 'glow-up' for the city's trash toppers, was documented by The Daily News on August 25. The project appears to be part of a community art initiative to beautify public spaces. The city has not specified a timeline for when the art will be replaced or if the project will expand to other areas.
