What do we pay you for?!?

For this edition of "What do we pay you for?!?", we're looking at the DSNY. Department of Sanitation. I think they're the ones that are supposed to oversee trash collecting, right? Here's a shot of a trash container in Chinatown. Never mind that there are BAGS of trash on the ground around the trash bin. THERE IS NO TRASH CONTAINER IN THE METAL FRAME!!! What the hell happened to the trash bin? So, now, there is just trash piled up on top of the metal frame and on the ground around the frame. How are we supposed to help keep the city clean if there are no trash bins to throw trash in?!? It's not like you can just fill up the frame and the trash guys will dump that. These frames are bolted to the ground. Do you think those guys riding by on the back of the trash trucks will take the time to hand pick the trash out of this frame? They can barely spare the time to avoid throwing trash into parked cars. I know that Chinatown is dirty and smelly already, but you don't have to add to the problem. You're the FRIGGIN Department of SANITATION! Does this look sanitary to you? Help us help you. PUT TRASH BINS WHERE TRASH BINS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE!! We pay crazy taxes living in the city. Is it too much to ask to have properly placed trash bins for those of us that do not like throwing trash all over the ground? I don't pay all these taxes to keep JUST the rich sections of the city clean. WHAT DO WE PAY YOU FOR?!?
