Professional garbage collection alone isn't how we keep our neighbourhoods clean, and Montreal could use a show of civic pride this spring.
“What is up with some people’s complete disrespect for our public spaces? It doesn’t require a huge amount of effort and discipline to keep our streets, sidewalks, parks and shorelines clean. Yet some of us appear incapable.”
Does Montreal also have zero publically accessible trashcans for miles at a time? Because everywhere I've personally seen this be a problem, there are zero trash cans anywhere.
Montreal is a long way from having the kind of culture where they can have no garbage cans AND no litter. Let's just put some garbage cans in problem areas and reduce the trash problem.
