What's going on here? You mean NYC didn't have trash cans before this? Where did people throw all their garbage? Someone please explain

Just tossed the garbage bags onto the sidewalks. How else do you think New York rats managed to get so big?

lmao. Yes, it's one of the first things a visitor to NYC usually notices. Before garbage collection, they just pile up the bags of trash on the street

The majority of other US cities either have alleys where trash collection happens, or there's just more space for bins/dumpsters
