Okay, I'm a little confused, so bare with me. My southern brain finds it hard to comprehend how New Yorkers think.

I thought these cans were there for workers, so they could use them instead of carrying litter bags on their backs.

Are you are saying that they expect citizens to do their job and pick up litter for them, but those same citizens will fined if they put garbage in them?

This makes sense to New Yorkers?

No ... picking up litter and placing it in the baskets is being a good citizen. Bringing your household trash outside and dropping it in the litter basket because it is easier than disposing it with the apartment trash pickup not so much.

The knee jerk reaction is to side with the fixed income granny. But this deserves a closer read.

Here is what gets me.

The city levies fines on littering, and then they throw newspapers I did not order on my lawn.

Can I get justice? from the government?

I tend to run over them with the mower and blow the discharge into the street.

Am I wrong?
