It seems to me that some folks on the block don't even have a clue that it is "illegal" to put your garbage out IN a cardbox box. One fellow nearby was surprised by that - and it seemed that he could have been a big offender of this past week's GarbageGate (but wasn't willing to admit it, even though his pharma manuals were spilling out of each box...).

Another young gal sauntered by to see what we were talking about and asked about fighting a fine and additionally to complain that no one took her recycling which was in a paper bag and on a non-recycling day. Huh. Since they didn't take it - she left it there. she finally decided not to be in the convo any more sighing "ahhh whatever happens happens".

regardless, the block was clean last night.

and the garbage men promptly left a bag in front of our neighbor's. I called Sanitation just now. The apathetic woman said she'd make the complaint. "Will it get picked up or won't it?" I asked. "Eh...maybe," she said.
