@3: Almost all of them. Everytime I walk by a bus stop, I see the trash cans with the obvious signs saying they're not for pet poop. And every one has pet poop in it.
They made it mandatory here, giving us these doll-sized green bins for composting, in your apartment, but probably on your back deck or outdoor hallway since it's gonna stink. They're just small enough for a rat to get into.
Like our recycling program, it's well intentioned, but badly executed—and counterproductive—to a city like San Francisco. If we had a large bin like Seattle's yard waste ones, that'd work better.
I do not want fewer pick ups, I want more of them! If we have trash pick up every other week, then the dustbin will overflow and trash will be in the carport (no the manager won't pick it up).
In fact, that's what happens w/recycling now; that's every other week, and the bin is stuffed w/i a day or two. So people put recyclables into the garbage. We need recycling pickup at least once a week.
We have a compost pick up, but nobody uses it much. People passing by dump their trash in that one too.
@1- yard waste collection is currently required for seattle single-family homes. This would make that rule more fair. I just conracted the food/yard for a pike st. Building. The tenants kept asking, so we ordered a bin. It's only like 7 bucks a month.
I've been asking my landlord for a food/yard waste bin since I moved in. I'd love it if he was a little more motivated. Right now I just find the nearest building with a bin to deposit my compost :P
Please wait...
and remember to be decent to everyone all of the time.
Although it's annoying enough to fit two garbage bins in my small apartment.
