I'm strictly referring to residential trash, often in half filled bags. My experience observing this is limited to a few neighborhoods, but I regularly see it in Crown Heights and Prospect Heights. The workers there often carelessly toss around bags and leave large piles of loose trash on the sidewalks that then sits there for weeks at a time. Surely the city/building owners/business have a role to play, but let's not pretend that the trash workers are all doing a great job. Ideally the city would require stand bins that could be lifted by an arm on the truck (like many other cities in the US).
