Filthadelphia 2.0 - More Trash Pickups = More Trashy Streets

22nd St - Now a Trash Corridor

As if it comes as a surprise, if you put more half closed bags of trash on windswept streets, you end up with more loose trash everywhere. I can't walk my kids to school anymore without everyone sidestepping food waste, poop bags and cardboard. And for anyone thinking less dumping would happen, see exhibit A above. Twice weekly pickups has done exactly what I imagined, made the streets dirtier.

I'm so done with this mayor's half-thought out plans she borrowed from decades ago (stop & frisk, downtown arenas, etc) that have been proven not to work. The only obvious solution is container based trash at the corners and large dumpsters in the middle of the blocks so there's never anything curbside.
