Three separate places I went to at 8 in the morning. Gas station, dunkin’ donuts, and then a convenience store. All of them, trash is full. People wonder why they litter in the USA, there’s nowhere to throw away trash when you’re out. It’s unbelievable People can just go to work and choose not to do their job anymore. That people see this and they don’t have any problem with it, no interest at all to keep things neat and tidy and clean. Nope.

      They are. But Sanitation workers wouldn’t be emptying any of these bins in my experience as a guy who lives in the US.

        Oh, for sure. Most of these ones in the image seem like they should be taken out by an employee of whatever restaurant or gas station they’re at, placed into a dumpster, and then taken away. I forgot to even address the fact that sanitation workers have fuck-all to do with the pictured garbage; good call.

      They get paid more than most people would think but it’s still not enough based on the hazards of the job. They get exposed to all sorts of nasty things that can ruin their long term health and they have increased likelihood that they’ll get a life-altering injury at work.

      Hey I don’t see any garbage men going on cruises in the bahamas or the carribbeans.
