From the NY Post:
A fed-up councilman from Astoria dug through a city trash can yesterday to find out who illegally dumped personal garbage into a municipal receptacle — and vowed the “pig” would get fined.
“What kind of pig does this? Stuffs up the small opening of a public trash can with a bag of your personal home trash?” Councilman Peter Vallone fumed on his Facebook page.
After digging through the trash in a can near the Astoria Boulevard stop on the N and Q lines, Vallone ID’d its source — as Konstantinos Sidiroglou, who lives on 24th Street.
“Hey Konstantinos,” Vallone wrote. “You left your Victoria’s Secret catalogue in there ... Expect a visit from Sanitation to your pigsty.”
Sidiroglou said he knew nothing of Vallone’s discovery — and couldn’t care less.
“I was out this morning, I had some garbage in my car and I thought I’d throw it out,” he said. “And that’s it. I don’t care. It’s fine. It’s fine. This is all fine!”
And it will be a fine. Dumping household trash in a city garbage can is punishable by a $100 ticket.

Hey Peter, This is happening every day in every neighborhood.
Most of it is coming for illegal housing units , especially in Queens, the national epicenter of illegal housing.
People are pigs, but the government is also not doing it's job. I'm not talking about the workers, I'm talking about the administration. And not just here but all over. "They" got us into this mess and now "They" have to get us out of it. Gone are the days where everything is swept under the rug. The people are questioning their leaders and our leaders had best come up with some answers.
How appropriate that the name "peter vallone, jr." is on the trash can.
Why should Pete Jr. give a rat's ass?
It's not in the nice part of Astoria that he lives in!
What about the political garbage that La Famiglia Di Vallone has littered Astoria with since the days of Charlie "the judge" Vallone?
Yep...just like "The Sopranos" Don "junior" Vallone
Hey, figlio Pietro...what ya doin' about the Steinway Mansion to keep it as a community asset?
Oh...yer just sittin' on yer ass 'til Bloomberg gives you yer next marchin' orders.
"Konstantinos Sidiroglou".....
William Poole you were right!
Who doesn't take their trash out to the corner "litter basket"? Where do you expect them to put it?
Illegal apartment dwellers who dont want to get caught by putting extra trash in front of their slum. Simple as that.

In garbage cans in or outside of their place of residence.
I admit to throwing "household" trash in public litter cans. Sometimes I'll pick up mail on my way to the car and then I toss it in any can I find. I'm not throwing away my dinner and junk in there though.
Doesn't the city have bigger things to worry about than paying some poor clob to go through the trash to figure out what belongs and what doesn't, then going after whomever threw it in there.
Hey Peter Vallone, fuck you souvlaki-style!
Perhaps you don't understand. The ass stuffed up the top of the trashcan so that no one else could throw anything into it. If he had taken the extra 2 seconds to push the trash INTO the can, he wouldn't be getting a fine right now as we don't pay people to sift through public trashcans.
I'd never throw a Victoria's Secret catalogue away. I'd stash that under my mattress for those oh-so-lonely nights.
Must have be a dingus to not notice the gray receptacle next to Vallone's with big gaping openings - duh doy!
Yup this happens but an observation in Manhattan regarding these cans turns up a widely known fact - there are trash cans on just about every corner in Manhattan and that is not the case in Queens where the ratio of trash cans to people is miserable - so let get better service out of the NYDS by having trash cans on every block.
