Garbage Piles Up In Manhattan, Reminiscent Of The Good Old Days
(L) 1981 on Park Avenue (courtesy twistr.in), and (R) East 84 St today
Alright, it's not the 17 day garbage strike of 1981, or of 1975, or 1968, but the mountains of garbage on the Upper East Side today may give you flashbacks! Many areas on the Upper East have not seen a recycling pick up in nearly 3 weeks, and according to many supers around the neighborhood, law still requires them to put the garbage out. Let's be clear, there is no strike. It is actually a confluence of events- snow removal, and pick up days being suspended for Christmas and New Year that built these mounds of trash. There was however, a "special pick up day" last Saturday, but at least on my street they never came.
My doorman has a theory- Sanitation spent so much on snow removal that they are secretly cutting back. He also joked that it was there because his union contract was nearly up. He wasn't the only one keeping it light, a tenant leaving for the day told him "have fun guarding the mountain!" In my immediate area the mounds should be gone by Friday, although, with a snowy Alberta Clipper forecast for Thursday night, the mounds may still yet grow.
It s crazy how a city like New York does not have a plan to pick up garbage when it snows. We can learn something from cities like Toronto, where there is much more snow...
ReplyDeleteDude it's not garbage it's the recyclables.
ReplyDeletei think its terrible to leave all the in the street for 3 weeks
ReplyDeleteWow! that's a lot of garbage, boy!And yea, it's terrible how NYC does not have a plan (or maybe does not want to pay the sanitation guys extra) to pick up the garbage on snow days.

Yep it looks like Deja Vu. The snow days definitely screw up the schedule since they use the garbage trucks as snow plows. No fun.
ReplyDeleteDisgusting!
ReplyDeleteCaralluma
Well thats very much garbage !!
ReplyDeletePiles of garbage on the street are signs of progress, as residents and landlords return and gut their homes.
ReplyDeleteI hope the mounds weren't covered with snow! You all barely got snow this winter. It's so weird when this type of stuff happens in NYC, you would think there is someone to call, but nothing would happen.
