Taking Out the Trash
The Sanitation Department will increase trash-basket pickups to help deal with the trash collecting on NYC streets. This is good news. Unfortunately this still does not address the reduction in recycling pickups I discussed earlier this week.
I can't resist pointing out this quote from Mikey.
Earlier yesterday, Mayor Michael Bloomberg — when asked about reports of garbage piling up on the streets — blasted the Daily News, which reported that city residents should get used to large trash piles."What is really disturbing is that there are some newspapers that think what we should do is settle for a bad condition, if it exists," Bloomberg said. "Number one, it doesn't exist. And, number two, we have no intention of settling for it."
Actually, I doubt the Daily News was suggesting we should settle for it. I think it was suggesting, Mikey, that you wouldn't do anything about it. Fortunately the Daily News was proved partially wrong (as was I). Prove us 100% wrong - Restore recycling pickups too.
