Why?
(thelemmy.club)
Only in Mississauga I find this disgusting behaviour.
Why are people just openly littering. It never used to be like this. What happened ?
Maybe we should look at this through the lens of a “desire path” in which foot traffic naturally paves out a path between two points. In this case the litter isn’t the problem, this is naturally where people want to throw their trash so instead the solution would be to install a large trash can right there. Saves a lot of bending for the poor soul who has to go clean that up.
Tim's took away the garbage cans because "they were finding too much garbage from other businesses in the trash"
You can throw your cups out at the house when you arrive home directly into your blue bins.
Disgusting culture / people who do this.
Stop defending companies. They removed a garbage can because people were throwing trash. Just not their trash.
I don’t think people should litter in any way. I carry my trash.
However, COMPANIES should be responsible for disposing of the garbage they create. From plastics, electronics, batteries, everything. Go try to buy meat without any paper or plastic packaging (aka trash), it is nearly impossible. If companies produce products that create trash, they should be responsible for cleaning it up.
So this place shouldn’t have removed the garbage bin. Instead, every other company should also be required to have bins.
I’m not defending companies removing bins, they should absolutely take responsibility for waste they generate. But that doesn’t justify littering. Both things can be true: companies should do better, and individuals should still take responsibility for their own garbage.
Fair. Everyone should do better.
