Citizen complaint of the day: Trash isn't supposed to grow on trees

South End trash tree

A disgusted citizen reports residents of a unit on West Newton Street in the South End try to save some effort by simply tossing their trash bags off their porch, but one of the bags got caught in a nearby tree and has now been hanging there, almost three stories up, for the past week.

A bag full of dirty diapers.

I was joking about the contents of the bag. I find the scenario much funnier to imagine a bag of dirty baby diapers.

Actually, I posted the complaint. Yeah, disgusted by the bag itself, but more bothered by the laziness and disregard for how the neighbors would feel about it. It would take 5 minutes of moderate effort to dislodge it.

At any given time, I had 4 of those full trash bags teetering from a tree branch that directly abutted my back deck at my apartment between 2007 and 2009.

Given that my location was Allston, and the bags were full of food waste and empty beer cans, bees decided that the hanging, bloated bags made excellent living quarters until the four-inhabitant-room city ordinance came about.

Or I knocked one down with swiffer handles duct-taped together after it was used as target for stone throwing by area students, I can't quite remember which came first.
