To the person who chucked their whole McDonald’s lunch litter into the middle of Dublin Street between Young and Cork Streets on May 21st, here’s the refuse you refused to recycle or even take home: large paper bag (recyclable), burger carton (recyclable), two paper napkins (compostable), a whole large bacon and cheddar angus bun (compostable.), a salad container (garbage) the container cover (recyclable), an unopened package of croutons (compostable and recyclable), a plastic fork (recyclable) the fork wrapper (recyclable), a paper and plastic bag (recyclable) and a very large piece of garbage: You! Lots of retired people live along there and some have surveillance and are hyper vigilant. One lady I spoke with saw the bag being chucked and others may have you on their cameras. The world can’t afford trash like you any more. Smarten up. You’re being watched more than you think.

Spare me the inventory. It’s a wide spread problem – people with a sense of entitlement use our earth as their personal garbage pit & they honestly don’t give a shit. It was that way 50 years ago in that neighbourhood (where I grew up) & holds true today. Maybe the city should establish a permanent cleaning crew to pick up street trash.
Did you go through the bag? EW #JustSayin
