KNBC Los Angeles investigative reporter Randy Macs described the streets of L.A. as a post apocalyptic scene, as he rode along with the cities one, 13-man trash crew for the nearly 500-square-mile city.
Mac reported, According to a report commissioned by the City Administrators office, only 35 percent of LAs streets are cleaned regularly. The constant state of uncleanliness is threatening LAs image, making some areas appear unsafe and ungoverned.
The trash crew supervisor Russell Zamora told Mac there was on a daily basis, somewhere from 30 to 40 tons a day, of illegally dumped garbage throughout the city.

Fact is, it arrived long ago in most places and will continue to do so.
I’m irked that when I go to the grocery store they have lots of Mexican cuts of meat ... Weird, gristle, thin and stringy meat. Where arecmy high quality meat cuts I’m used to?
Illegal dumping?
Well tell the damned illegals to stop!
Yeah, but most of them have a ways to go before they catch up to us in California.
You know, when English is optional and graffiti is everywhere.
India is on the way up. LA is on the way down.
Try the carniceria.
This is true in Cherry Hill, NJ as well. Where they claimed the schools are known "worldwide" for their "excellence". Median income was $87,392 in 2010.
I go there to run, and all the little darlings leave water bottles athletic tape, papers, wrappers, etc. all over the field and track. I see the letter 'G' in my nightmares. Meanwhile the new tennis court is already falling apart from maintenance worker incompetence, weeds grow from every crack and crevice...
But ask the kids about the environment, and they'll reveal themselves as good little brain dead liberals who believe in global warming, carbon footprints etc. But are too self centered and lazy to fix the things that can fix in their own backyard.

This is a sign that it is time to move.
So you are saying that the trash is Nature's Way of telling us...something's wrong?
That’s a harsh way to clean up L.A., but a nuke would be very effective.
Here in the SF Bay Area, cities instituted policies of large pickups several times a year. You schedule ahead of time with the sanitation crew, and you're allowed to put out perhaps ten large items of any kind - actual number depends on city. No extra cost on your garbage bill, extra pickups are free. We've put out clothes dryers, stoves, toilets, beds, full large garbage bags - you name it. Gets take away along with your regular weekly garbage. This has had a huge impact on keeping neighborhoods clean. LA could learn something from their neighbors up north.
: ) Nice, Cap’n.
But is it against the law to throw it down there period?
I have a lot of respect for waste haulers. They do an invaluable service for society.
This is terrible for a large city in the UNITED STATES to be decaying this way, but it could all be foreseen by anyone with a modicum of sense.
Can confirm. I teach middle school in L.A., downtown. They think nothing of it. Some of them also spit on the floor in the halls.
If the trash piles up high enough it might be ripe for a brush fire. Wait for a dry windy day and.
There is just no letting up on these “trashy” stories. They keep “mounting” up day after day after day. I’m afraid America as we knew it is gone forever. Be looking for the One who will “clean it all up” one day. He may be arriving sooner than one thinks.
I know you are right, I have traveled extensively including La, it is like another country..
Ah, life in a Blue State. Mexifornia—coming to a locale near you.
