Garbage Revisited
Yesterday just before the garbage and recycle trucks showed up, wearing plastic gloves up to their elbows, two women came out of their yellow brick apartments. First they wrangled all but three of the tubs out to the curb. Those three tubs were the blue ones overflowing with regular trash...but only supposed to hold recycleables. The women took all the dreck out of the three tubs, one handful at a time, and sorted it into the tubs at the curb. Then they swept the entire area and picked up stray bits of trash.
Judging by the fact that they wore plastic gloves and used new brooms, I am guessing that management paid them to clean up their own mess. Better that, I suppose, than leaving the mess where it was.
