    This is awesome to see. I was astonished when I visited by the amount of piles of trash bags you would see piled up in certain spots. It was very easy to see why there were often so many rats and cockroaches around.

    Good to see someone taking sanitation seriously.

      Manhattan was famously built with almost no alley ways to save space so the only place to put the garbage is on the street. You’ll literally have piles of garbage and yet people won’t want to give up a few parking spaces to put dumpsters in, so that garbage is all out on the sidewalk. It’s disgusting.
