Toronto city workers failed to reach a new contract agreement with the city of Toronto by this morning's deadline. So as of just after midnight last night, the garbage collectors are on strike.

You got that? A garbage strike started just after midnight last night. Less than 24 hours ago.

Today there are two parks in the downtown area where people are reporting that somebody has dumped bags of garbage.

What the fuck is WRONG with people?

yeah. i agree withpanic_girl, people just suck in general. in my building people are always throwing bags of garbage off their balconies into the greenbelt (or just the back lawn) rather than walking it to the chute. it's dangerous to walk the dogs out there sometimes! i've nearly been hit by all sorts of garbage. grr.

I can attest to that. Behind my building is a kind of rock garden area - it gets shittier and shittier throughout the year as people toss butts and random bits of garbage off their balconies. Very sad. It just got cleaned / weeded and already it's becoming ugly. You think people would respect it, it's a decent building and we all pay for that area.. sigh.

Maybe people think they're being smart by dumping in public areas.. already. Sheesh. Why ruin the parks prematurely?

My old building was like that. I was often hit by garbage people were tossing off the balcony. Sometimes it was small, a few times it was large boxes. Once someone's cigarette butt came down and burned the dog. All that and we only took him for a fast 5 minute morning pee back there!!
