Yeah, we have the same problem. People use the recycling bin outside of my honors dorm to dump most of their trash.

Why can't people fold their boxes before putting them in the dumpster? It wastes space. I don't think "scum of the earth" is harsh at all for these lazy, self centred twats

You get used to it. Combo of drunk college students + certain cultures = town is a total dump

no it’s people moving. there’s whole cooking pots, furniture, moving BOXES in the trash, etc. it pisses me off because people need to at least take it to the goodwill 5 minutes away and actually recycle or reuse the moving boxes. it’s sickening.

Yeah. They kinda hid the trash can behind the recycling bin, so nothing’s usually disposed of properly.

Scum of the earth is a little harsh lol. Most of the stuff donated to goodwill ends up in a landfill anyways. Especially if the items are not in good condition to reuse or worth refurbishing.

You can contact your city/county about implementing a recycling service in your area.

doesn’t seem harsh to me. people are lazy, plain and simple. i bet you the entire US looks like this around this time of year and it’s heartbreaking because there needs to be better systems in place so people in need can access the lightly used items and have proper recycling systems, etc. but it starts with us as individuals and taking the action to recycle and dispose of things properly.

oop catch me doing that. i wasn’t sure if it was cause the property manger doesn’t have a budget for it or something but i’ll definitely look into that cause we have 2 dumpsters at both buildings and no recycling. i literally have a box in my apartment that i use for recycling and take it home 50 mins when i visit on the weekends so i can dispose of it properly. literally makes me wanna dig the boxes out and recycle them properly 🥲

Oh yeah I agree it’s a huge problem in general but you don’t know anyone’s specific reasoning for putting stuff in the trash, especially when there’s wayyyy worse they could have done than collapsing cardboard boxes that no longer need and putting them in the designated garbage receptacle 😭

But yeah for sure I would ask your property manager and city about it. Some areas don’t have the infrastructure or funding for recycling programs since it comes from local taxes. Especially in like rural areas. Even if you’re in a suburban area it might just be that the city thinks there would be low participation until enough people ask about it. My bf’s dad called the city every week asking about recycling until they finally added their neighborhood to the program

Tbh tho it’s not an uncommon thing to take still usable items from the garbage area on moving day lmao. My school has a lot of out of state or international students that can’t bring everything back home with them so there’s usually stacks of free shit next to the dumpsters. I’ve snagged a mini fridge, ottoman, bar cart , and a ton of other shit over the years LMAO

A surplus of people from a third world country who were taught that scattering your trash literally anywhere isn’t good. And then some tarted men usually in frats who can’t comprehend emptying the trash bin on trash pickup
