City Sanitation workers caught on video ignoring sidewalk trash in Brooklyn

These Sanitation workers didn’t get the memo that the city has a rat problem!

New York’s “Strongest” in Brooklyn were caught on video taken by The Post leaving strewn trash on the sidewalk on Parkside Avenue between St. Paul’s and Ocean Avenues in Flatbush at around 6:45 a.m. Saturday.

The 63-second clip captures the underwhelming effort; the workers collecting most of the refuse, but neglecting assorted plastic bags, milk containers, cardboard boxes and other detritus.

“It was recycling day. There was a big huge pile. I think they picked up the bags and threw them in the truck and stuff fell out and they didn’t pick it up,” fumed one neighborhood resident.

The resident added: “There was the Mayor’s press conference [this week] about garbage and rats and all that…and now this is what the guys are doing.”

Is picking up trash laying all over a street part of the contract?

I am sure that it is the same as where I have lived, not in the can equals not my job, plus if they stopped to clean up every scrap on the sidewalks what will that do to their route completion? Maybe law enforcement isn't the only thing the city should be sending money on. I does seem to me that this kind of problem seems to be chronic in democrat run cities no matter the state.

They would do the same in my Alabama neighborhood, except there would be only one sanitation worker instead of three.  This person would work on the premise that each customer had the obligation to place all trash inside the trash receptacle and that his obligation to remove trash pertained to the contents of the trash receptacle itself.  It is not these workers who are to blame.  It is the selfish self-serving trashy NY liberals who abhor personal responsibility for anything they do.  Who in the hell takes loose garbage and dumps it on the street like that?
