Now, wouldn’t it be nice if the garbage could be collected -like elsewhere in the world- after, say, 9 pm? That means that shoppers don’t have to witness the trucks/noise/smell/inconvenience while the stores are trying to encourage them to come in and spend money. Of course, the people working the trucks don’t want that. Too inconvenient for them; and there would be all sorts of overtime I am sure. So, we all put up with a bad situation. Do you think the men at Disney World would have their trash trucks out at prime time? Probably not.
