Reply to comment by RoverTheMonster in Philadelphia pulls out of community litter cleanup program, Glitter by Easy-Reading

Trash pickup days are the days that are causing a lot of blocks problems. They are paying Glitter to come clean up the blocks after the sanitation crews leave them a mess. (Listen, its also up to citizens to ensure they set out their trash/recycling appropriately to make it so their rubbish makes it into the back of the truck without spilling everywhere.)

Full disclosure: I’m a Glitter cleaner and IMO — at least where I live and clean — cleaning the day before can make the bigger difference. As you’re saying, it’s how people put their trash out that causes so many problems. When I clean the day before trash day, at least all the ripped plastic bags and paper bags of trash and recycling get consolidated into heavy-duty trash bags so that stuff doesn’t end up everywhere when it inevitably gets blown about. That makes it more manageable for neighbors to maintain their block until they put their trash out next week, too
