Bags of garbage

The photos of bags of garbage on this blog do not magically appear. I fill the garbage bag up in 15 min. to an hour and take the bag to be picked up by the city. Most garbage comes from little bits everywhere that add up to one large bag when collected into a group. Photos height and width (March 26, 2024) now match original.

City street rainwater




The output of city street rainwater.

The problem is that there is no filter screen on the +150 outputs. Everything washed down the city street drain, goes directly into the river. No one complains because they themselves are not personally injured.

The solution to the problem would be placing filter screens on the outputs, and the garbage regularly removed. This would take money: 1) to employ a person to do this job, and 2) the purchasing and building of the screens (plus maintenance).

The temporary solution is to place discarded tree branches at the sewer outlets to catch the garbage before it enters the river. Then people such as I manually remove the garbage, or people notice the problem.

The problem of bags of feces is small but it is cumulative damage. Every day more plastic bags are added.

I did not clean up the plastic bags in the photo below. I decided it is a losing battle with an endless supply of more garbage.

I don't know how many of these small black dog-feces bags are the same as previous photos, sorry.
