Trash everywhere, bad trash collecting practices, flies, rats etc being attracted to the piles. Who KNEW it was going down like that in NYC!? That is totally gross and messed up.

When I lived in Queens, we were not allowed to put the trash on the street until pickup day. Made for a much better situation. The businesses had dumpsters etc. Here on LI you can get a fine if it is out before 5 pm the night before pickup. I had no idea, and my hubby had to tell me when I first dragged out the cans "too early" You had me about New Yorkers thinking they are the shit..so funny...But really that is a hazard. I went up 14th street subway stairs on Sat and had Wilbur running up the stairs with me.ugh ugh ugh.Winniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15926597921523807422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524041687343531016.post-79750252055938942622012-09-20T19:00:02.248-04:002012-09-20T19:00:02.248-04:00My thoughts each time I pass bags.
