The only public trash can in my neighborhood is at 7-Eleven. Thank god that mega corporate chain is taking their civic duty responsibility seriously because literally nobody else is. No other businesses are willing to do the work of maintaining a trash can, and apparently neither is the city.

Yeah, a public trash can is work. But in my opinion, it’s a worthwhile expenditure of time and effort. The service of being able to toss things in the trash is worth the collective price, IMO.
