Armoured boxes have appeared in parks across the city, unlocked only by a code known to certain people.
The council installed the all-black chests earlier this week, which manufacturers say are "virtually impossible to break into".
Inside is a range of equipment to help keep green spaces and other areas around Brighton clear of litter and graffiti such as litter pickers and bin bags.
One of the boxes, advertised as the Armorgard TB3, can reach more than £1000 according to retailers Brighton Tools and Fixings, which supplied the boxes to the council.
They were installed by the Brighton and Hove Tidy Up Team, which was set up to encourage members of the community to do their part to keep the city clean.
Community groups and volunteers who are part of the scheme will be able to unlock the box with a code to access the equipment.
On Tuesday, boxes were installed outside Moulsecoomb Library and in Happy Valley near Woodingdean.
In 2018, former mayor Dee Simpson revealed a new "superbin" which would be installed around the city, which would include much of the equipment inside these new tool chests.
Superbins remain near Preston Park, Brunswick Square and Queens Parkamong other locations while tool chests can be found in Woodingdean, Bedford Square and near Shelter Hall.
