Last week as I was waiting for the bus, I could not help but notice this overflowing trash can on North Avenue. It just made me so sad. Even in between taking pictures, a man tried to stuff some more into it.
From what I could see (I did not dig in and inspect), it looked like the majority of the trash can’s contents were recyclables such as plastic beverage containers. This makes sense because this trash can is right across from an L stop, so I assume many commuters drop off their pre and post work coffees here.
I tweeted at Chicago Streets and Sanitation about it, but so far no response…..

At least they are using the trash can. Maybe they need a recycling one too. Who cares if people remove the bottles. At least they will be recycled.
