So it's the MTA's fault that New Yorkers create so much trash?
I understand your point is that they haven't emptied the receptacle, but there's only so much a limited staff can do to keep up with what YOU pointed out was rush hour traffic. Perhaps if we all didn't feel the need to purchase beverages every time we step out the door the trash barrels wouldn't fill up so quickly. Here I would pin the responsibility on the market - the consumers who generate the waste.
I didn't point out that the garbage was due to "rush hour traffic" I noted when the photos were taken.
Do you really think that those receptacles were empty in the morning? That trash was accumulated over more than just one day.
I see a lot more than beverage containers in those photos. First commenter fails with argument.
I pass through 7 Ave in the AM as well. I did notice the receptacles in the same condition during both trips through that station on Friday, and it appeared to be the same trash in the evening that was there in the morning, not a new batch. It's usually not like that. Let's hope this was just an anomaly.
First commenter fails with argument because s/he fails to point out that New Yorkers not only consume a lot of packaged drinks, but a lot of packaged food as well? No, that only furthers first commenter's argument. We create the trash, then we whine about the failure of "the system" to keep up with disposal.
Somebody, or a lot of somebodies, is spoiled rotten!
1) This SAME garbage was there ALL DAY.
2) The fact that there are containers from food and drink shows that people are still patronizing businesses during this rough economy. I guess you would rather see more shuttered storefronts and want your taxes hiked even more. Only an asshole would see this as a bad thing.
3) The MTA has the duty to keep the station clean. Asking them to have an employee empty out the garbage at least once a day is not that much to ask. The problem is not the customers of the MTA; the problem here is the service.
Most garbage in MTA station garbage cans is discarded newspapers. They really should have a recycle bin for those. I also don't see a lot of people eating or drinking on the trains during morning rush hour. Some may, but most people either eat breakfast at home or wait until they get to work. In case you haven't noticed, it's been humid and hot these past few days and people are naturally going to want to keep hydrated. The MTA knows this, so why are they not prepared for it?
It doesn't matter what the contents of the garbage are, the fact that it obviously has not been addressed it the real issue.
Excellent post!You would NEVER see this in Chicago! This is a totally unacceptable situation, regardless of how many beverages NYers consume. More riders = more revenue = more maintenance requirements.
More riders = more revenue = more money to steal from the public
It always amuses me to see the "Cleaning Crews" on the L-train at 8th Ave.
Train pulls in and typically has 6 or 7 minutes to sit there before it gets sent back out again in the other direction.
Always 2 or 3 cleaning people. Most of the time, they are just sitting on those black storage boxes, talking to each other.
When one of them actually has a mop or broom in their hand, they just kinda stroll over to the train, step in, rub the mop on the floor 2 or 3 passes, then step out again. Pretty much all for show. I've seen puddles of coffee a few times, go ignored.
There is something to be said for privatized jobs. I never see such laziness from the cleaning crews at Starbucks or Subway.
"There is something to be said for privatized jobs."
There is something to be said for privatized anything. Why "go the extra mile" on your municipal (i.e. collectivist) job when there's no $ in it for you. You get your $ through unionized work rules. How does one rise above the sea of mediocrity? Why bust your balls?
City Government - Less Work = More Pay. That's why the city has no money. The politicians are relying on Taxpayers to foot the bill.
MTA sucks, citizens without common sense suck!
I bet the station Bloomturd supposedly uses in the morning has it's garbage emptied!
I sometimes use this station on my commute. It is a dump, and right below the city's official tourist visitor center on W.53rd St. and 7th Avenue.
Wait till they get a load of this- a humid station full of trash and barefoot vagrants. It's like the old city from the 1980s films.
