Three separate places I went to at 8 in the morning. Gas station, dunkin' donuts, and then a convenience store. All of them, trash is full. People wonder why they litter in the USA, there's nowhere to throw away trash when you're out. It's unbelievable People can just go to work and choose not to do their job anymore. That people see this and they don't have any problem with it, no interest at all to keep things neat and tidy and clean. Nope.

Personally, if I see a full trash can I will keep my trash with me until I can find a place to dispose of it. I can’t imagine just throwing it on the ground regardless of the can situation.

I've had plenty of times where I get home and empty my pockets of the trash I accumulated with no can nearby.

And if I try to put something in a can and it falls out, I'm taking it with me because I didn't succeed in throwing it away.

Shrugging ans saying "well I tried" as you walk away isn't even trying.

Japanese people do that as trash bins are very rare. It is an education issue and not the lack/full of trash binsy

Same. And sometimes if it's convenient, I'll keep my recyclables like paper, cans, and glass until I have access to a sink to clean then (glass, maybe cans) and can toss them in my recycling system at home.

Fyi, make sure your recyclables are dry before dropping them off/having them picked up

I would pull the top of all of these (without breaking it) and make all the trash fit, or, if absolutely required, carry it as you say

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

Don't. You will catch a needle doing that and get hepatitis.
