        No wonder NYC decorates Garbage Collectors like they’re Zhukov

          New York Sanitation Workers are the only vets worthy of respect.

          all non-cop non-troop workers should get cool military uniforms. teachers, nurses, sanitation workers get the coolest ones.

        Without these pictures I probably would have closed this window thinking it was all a joke. Do New Yorkers ever visit other places and marvel at our technology?

          No, in fact, they get really mad when you tell them that a city doesn’t have to smell like hot garbage and piss

        That explains all the rats I saw back when I was in NYC subway (I think on F) back in like 2000.

      Nope. I fucking hate NYC for many reasons and this is one of them. OMG NYC MOST MAGICAL CITY IN THE WOOORLD yeah so magical it smells like shit and piss everywhere and the sidewalks are made of garbage and bin juice because they never thought “oh hm maybe waste management is a thing.” NYC is one of the biggest shithole cities in the world and I will fight anyone who disagrees

          This just screams good old-fashioned political machine corruption. The garbage collectors are unionized and have a good bit of political influence. It seems like NYC has been running its trash collection as a make-work program for years. The only advantage of doing trash this way is that it means you need to hire way more garbage collectors than you would with other systems. I’m all for having well paid jobs and providing people opportunities, but there are ways to do that without creating a huge public health nuisance.

        I’ve consumed over three decades of USA media, including having watched shows based in NYC and this is the first I’ve learnt that they used to toss rubbush on the streets. American propaganda is powerful.

          I mean these trash cans are a pilot project, so most of the city is still just throwing their garbage straight onto the sidewalks lol

      lmao. Yes, it’s one of the first things a visitor to NYC usually notices. Before garbage collection, they just pile up the bags of trash on the street

      The majority of other US cities either have alleys where trash collection happens, or there’s just more space for bins/dumpsters
