Garbage is overflowing in the city where local politicos and merchants alike are upset with reduced pickups, due to budget cuts. The Department of Sanitation tells Newsday that each of the city's 25,000+ sidewalk garbage cans are emptied at least once a day, and high traffic cans are emptied up to three times a day, and this is all they can do, given resources. Additionally, the cans overflow due residents dumping their household trash in the near sidewalk garbage can. Queens merchants have Adopt-a-Basket programs, where they will replace trash bags before the sanitation department comes. Clever! And good for the community.
