From another article:
“They are ground animals,” Horvath said. “But they will chew through the black plastic bags of trash.”
“The city should be out here giving out garbage cans,” Ackerman said.
Oh, sure, the CITY should give things away. How about residents being required to purchase and use trash cans?
In NYC, the landlord or homeowner provides the garbage cans. It’s actually a lot of suburban areas that have government-provided plastic garbage cans. And color-coordinated, too!
