That's what I was thinking.
I'm assuming they go above and beyond what the city may offer.
if you are a company like whole foods - you probably don't want trash sitting around until a city assigned garbage is ready to pick it up in a week. same with hotels, etc.
- ben_jones 9y agoThey don't already have an arrangement? I've never noticed this problem at a grocery outlet.
- tartuffe78 9y agoIt's called a dumpster, and it sits behind the building so customers don't see it.
- s73ver 9y agoRight, but I'm also guessing that they have an arrangement with the local waste disposal company to have it emptied more often.
- dr_ 9y agoPerhaps outside of the city, but at least in a place like NYC, there isn't room for a dumpster to be sitting around continuously. And the residents wouldn't like it either.
- chickenfries 9y agoDon't grocery stores just have dumpsters? What problem is this solving that a dumpster doesn't?
- CharlesW 9y agoIt's illegal to dump trash in someone else's dumpster without permission, for one.
- JumpCrisscross 9y ago> I've never noticed this problem at a grocery outlet I live down the street from a New York City grocery store. Once a week all their boxes and stale groceries wander out onto the sidewalk from where, at convenient times like 5pm or Midnight a garbage truck blocks traffic while making robot-sex sounds. Apparently, private garbage pick-up was axed when Fairways last went bankrupt.
