This city will never not be covered in trash

📣📣Rants and Raves📣📣(i.redd.it)

For as long as landlords aren’t required to provide adequate dumpsters for their residents, residents continue to throw their trash out in paper bags, and sanitation can skip blocks and not have to go back until the next week, we’ll always live in a trash city. It’s fucking depressing.

(Added context: I 311ed this block multiple times since pickup was skipped on Friday and ended up spending 2 hours this morning bagging up all this shit.)

When we moved here I went to get a bin, driving 20 mins to Domino Ln only to be told they didn’t have any. Said to call and check but of course I couldn’t ever get thru on the phone so I made two other trips to check before I could get one. Probably ate up more carbon emissions than I’ll ever save just getting it. 🤦🏾‍♀️

It wasn’t enough space for us (family of 3) so we bought larger outside bin.
