Just laying on the sidewalk, like so much other litter.

My friend who works at the pet store in the neighborhood has started trying to shame my dumb suburb about their litter problem - which is considerable, and largely of their own devising - it's the method of collecting recycling that does it. Just lay it out on the street in a pile. Paper, plastic whatever- there's always a stack of pizza boxes out in front of my building that blows away down the street by the time I am going to work early in the morning. All the trash on recycling day just flutters along down the street. It's just shameful - also the way that they don't enforce the shoveling of the sidewalks enough. I write a lot of letters and get no response. I don't know- Cleveland Heights - you could be cool, but you are not because of confusing reasons.

I don't know if this particular bit of litter makes any sense. I don't know - it's springtime, and I find myself... You know, I want nothing more than to leave this city behind me - I've got 6 more years here! I count down the hours & the days - and then I go. I never really thought I'd love it here, and only sometimes do I - but I know if I'd known I was going to live here this long, I'd have been nicer to people.

So the trash blows down my street because the way that the city manages itself is dumb. That's all I got. I'm trying to go back to getting something down most days, to writing words.

Livejournal is my like, warmup exercise - the snow is gone, now I just need to shake off the dust & get the fingers back in their proper shape, their optimal mode.

im so surprised that cleveland hts of all hippy ass places doesnt have those big fancy recycling trash cans. those are amazing, and everyone should have them, and it makes it all so much easier. actually the trash people for this city are terrible. they leave things all the time.

and lol to the fact that if you knew youd be here this long youd have been nicer to people.

Yes exactly. The only place where I see even worse litter collection is around the UH Campus - and that's just because they have those dinky pointless trash bins that can't hold all the junk that the John Hay students are always discarding. Which is still a dumb thing caused by their own efforts - and yes, I can't believe Cleveland uses those trash bins but Cleveland Heights doesn't? Maybe if EC makes a change they'll finally be shamed into it.
