While I can not offer empirical proof to satisfy the cynic, administrator or those who would say "it's living in the city", my general impression is that the round green garbage "can" with no lid on it in the center area of the picture below has not been emptied since before March 26, 2010 - going on three months!
March 26, 2010 (not sure exact date as calendar function worked wrong but picture is in a download batch from March 26) The can is full - black trash bag is visible.
April 20, 2010 - Three plus weeks later - it might have been emptied but if you look closely, a black garbage bag is still at the top of the can with no lid. This is on a Tuesday - trash and recycling pick up day, before any crews have come through the alley. i hav eheard some DPW people say that the trash/recycling will not get picked up if it is on private property as here where it is all on the lighter colored concrete parking pad.
April 27, 2010 A week later, there is another black trash bag on top of the full can with no lid. This is on a Tuesday.
May 11, 2010 Two weeks later, the bag on top is gone but the black trash bag (and all below) are still there. Tuesday.
Above (blue car on right, silver ahead) was taken May 20, 2010. A week and a half later, looks the same. Tuesday.
May 25, 2010 - white garbage bags appear on top. Tuesday.
Above (blue car on right) is June 6, 2010. Three white garbage bags remain on top of the black bag. Sunday.
Above (black car on right, silver car ahead) is June 15, 2010. Those three white bags are still there 9 days later. Tuesday.
On July 8, 2010 - someone has felt the need to shroud the can in mystery - still full underneath though. Thursday.
