Trash Talk: Of Towns and Litter

While it would seem like a fairly simple task to put litter in a trash can or a recycle bin, this concept seems to elude many. Many people, especially among the urban dwellers seem to care little for proper garbage disposal, depositing litter everywhere as they go. This has led to accumulation of litter in the street. The other contributor to this menace is poor handling of garbage by contracted garbage collectors and a complete lack of power cleaner equipment like petrol pressure washers. Some of them spill garbage as they transfer it from trash cans or as they transport it. This further aggravates an already desperate situation. This has caused many city streets to become real eyesores and has robed them of the potential beauty and splendor that urban centers can bear. Unless this problem is addressed quickly, it has the potential of spiraling to catastrophic proportions. The people need to acknowledge the value of preserving cleanliness and beauty in our streets, not just for themselves but for their children as well. This also reduces health risks that arise from wanton disposal of litter. It's time we took responsibility for the mess we have made and did something about it. It's time we cleaned up our act.
