Mar. 30, 2008 - Trash in the streets of Columbus
Trash... not litter, but trash in streets of Columbus. The trash in the streets of this north outer belt Columbus neighborhood is in nice green trash receptacles with wheels.
What is the custom in your Columbus neighborhood? Do the trash receptacles sit on the apron of the driveway? Or out in the street?
I was in a Worthington area neighborhood (Worthington ZIP code thus Worthington mailing address, it's in the Worthington School District but it is in the City of Columbus and the NAVY trash pick up area...) last Friday morning .... it was windy... and all the trash receptacles were in the street... the first block I thought they had blown into the street, because just a mile or so away in the neighborhoods I drive through often the trash sits up on the driveway on trash day. But then every trash receptacle in the neighborhood was in the street.
This neighborhood is north of 270, south of Polaris, west of Worthington Galena Road and east of 23.
I knew of a neighborhood just northeast of there where the residents on street all put their trash out in the middle of the cul-de-sac for trash day... but it is a tight little cul-de-sac with residences with one car garages. I always thought they had their trash receptacles in the street for the convenience of the big truck.
The neighborhood with trash in the street that I was in on Friday has all two car garages... there are one or two homes with a three car garages...
I can't help wondering if the trash in the street wouldn't that make it an obstacle course for the mailman on trash day?
