Reply to comment by grambell789 in NYC has to be the only city in the world where it's a significant political accomplishment to deploy a single trash bin by scooterflaneuse

That's where you have heavy enforcement and drill it in. Its been successfully implemented in a lot municipalities and reduced trash tremendously

We’ll just complain that heavy enforcement only hurts the poor and makes them poorer.

Also, look at anything else we “enforce”. Cars drive all over, scooters are all over oír sidewalks. Do you really think there’s going to be squads of cops checking peoples garbage?

We like to say that things work in other cities but honestly the culture in NY and US is not like the culture in other parts of the world and it’s very obvious. In other parts of the world, a big way to get people to do something is to show them how it impacts everyone. We only care about ourselves.
