OK, time to stop just reaching into snow piles and grabbing some snow

My Neighborhood is full of human garbage (not needles) and dog waste that hasn't found proper receptacles. In fact, the majority is human-created garbage - full-on trash bags that someone used for their space saver, glass and plastic drink bottles, wadded up napkins, plastic bags with the remains of human food, take-out food containers (some with food still in). It's vile.

The bottom line is people suck.

Yeah, the fact they are capped is kind of a dead give away that it's not junkie discards. I have seen all manner of trash emerging from snow banks all over the city, including things that I bagged and placed out for collection. Under normal conditions, when an animal or some other causative factor spills the trash, people see it, and often take care of it. But in February, all of it got buried.
