Three separate places I went to at 8 in the morning. Gas station, dunkin’ donuts, and then a convenience store. All of them, trash is full. People wonder why they litter in the USA, there’s nowhere to throw away trash when you’re out. It’s unbelievable People can just go to work and choose not to do their job anymore. That people see this and they don’t have any problem with it, no interest at all to keep things neat and tidy and clean. Nope.

    There’s a litter bin near my house in a rural area that the council has obviously forgotten about. It’s been full for weeks!

    You should see the amount of litter scattered around

    Oh wait, it’s absolutely none, because we’re not fucking selfish savages

    No fucking excuses for littering, ever. That’s a societal problem, not a bin problem

      Eh, It’s a bit of both. No amount of societal pressure will solve a complete absence of waste disposal infrastructure. It’s a matter of making sure the sense of shame and/or duty is greater than whatever distance there inevitably is to a working bin.

        A bit of one and mostly the other. The other being “you don’t drop shit on the ground expecting someone to clean up after you”

        You know, civilisation. Society. Decency

        Really boils my piss
