Boston sells off every square inch of public bus stop, trash can, etc. to a small number of companies that pay a pittance for the right to resell the space for advertisements. Lexington and Concord are the only places where such things are disallowed.
During the pandemic I found a trash can in a suburb that had been postered with a Johnnie Walker ad for over a year, and sent in a phony request for a quote to advertise a community poetry slam event. The quote was for over $2000. Multiply that by every trash can in the city.
