That's true. I was surprised they didn't exist in NYC.

We, regular citizens do. Businesses put their trash on the curb tho.

Yes, but waste disposal isn't something I'm focused on while doing tourism.

 

:suburban:

 

Let me guess, they also put the trash in the street?

Yeah, it's not uncommon for there to be trash in the street in European cities, largely because of insuficient bins. I didn't mean to imply otherwise.

 

But the tweet in the OP made it seem like there were zero trash bins in NYC and that would've been weird. :dies:

They were actually just throwing them on the street? :rip:

Wait. Businesses used to put their trashbags out on the street? Just like that? For the rats, roaches & birds? :bloo:

It's the same in Tokyo. The city is super clean for most of the part, they just hide them trash bags in dark alleys. :rip:

What did they use before?

A lot of places in the US have had these for years. New York is just so far behind.
