Some people are just inexplicable. I’m not sure why they would even bother dumping near the actual trash receptacles — at that point, why not just throw the garbage wherever?
I remember when there was a garbage strike (maybe in Toronto? might have been here) seeing footage on the news of huge quantities of garbage set out on the street, including couches. My thought was that if there was a garbage strike of up to a few weeks, it wouldn’t even occur to me to put garbage out — I would just retain it until the strike was over. But then, I once accumulated plastic containers for a couple of years before they became recyclable (although given updated knowledge, maybe I should really say “collectible”, not “recyclable” but I didn’t realize that at the time).
