This person gets it

I've been ranting about recycling and trash on this sub for a while and have decided just to stop trying to recycle. This morning I even bagged my neighbors' wet Trader Joe's bags and put them out with by trash bc of the rain and wind and how tired I am of cleaning up my block every week bc of this asinine collection system we have here in Philly. It's absolutely not worth it anymore

I’m done trying. When I first moved here a decade ago it was okay. They usually came on time. Since covid I’m lucky if they show up period. When they do come, they do at best half the job while throwing shit everywhere. Its embarrassing to live on a street that looks like this and its not because of the residents but the fucking “sanitation” department. Trash gets picked up promptly by 6am but whatever clowns they have working recycling suck

Honestly, if the weather is going to be windy I just hide the recycling with the trash in a black trash bag. It is ridiculous. They pick up the trash in my neighborhood around 8am and don't return for the recycling until about 6pm or later. As you can imagine, it blows everywhere.
