Kindly stop putting your garbage bin on top of a snowbank

Tickets tucked into many garbage bins across Midtown this week inform taxpayers that the refuse is in the wrong place and therefore might not be eligible for pick up. The list of possible concerns from the City names 16 things that will disqualify a homeowner from pickup. The last is Other. But it was the snow that troubled collectors on current runs. Bins had been placed on top of the icy-hard banks of snow that crowd residential streets this winter. The City doesn’t want your bin out in the street or blocking pedestrians, of course. It suggests helpfully that you clear a nice space for all bins in the rock hard dikes between you and the garbage truck. Thanks so much for the advice.
