Ugly Garbage Collection

Garbage cans without lids are often highlighted in the Ugly reports on this blog.

So it was surprising to see that City of Mobile has started putting lids on some of their garbage cans in Helen Wood Park. In the above photo you can see a wooden lid on a garbage can although it is upside down. But the upside down lid is preventing loose trash from escaping into the environment.

Unfortunately the wooden garbage can lids have no handle on them so when someone puts the lid on the ground the lid will probably stay on the ground. It is kind of hard to educate ignorant people in Mobile to put the lid back on the garbage can.

Even if garbage cans have lids on them when the City of Mobile just drives past garbage receptacles that the wind or wild dogs have knocked over it shows the Ugly reality like seen above after this weeks garbage pickup. The reality is there are some seriously Ugly problems with garbage collection in Mobile.
