CBS reported on the dissatisfaction of New Yorkers with the accumulated garbage after the blizzard

The consequences of the blizzard that covered most of the United States last week have affected New York, where snowdrifts have been preventing garbage collection from the streets for days, thereby causing discontent among residents. This was reported on February 3 by the CBS News channel.

"Everything is bad. To be honest, I can't say anything else. It's getting more disgusting every day," American Rami Ryan described the situation.

Another of the agency's interlocutors, who lives in the Upper East Side area, which was known for its immaculate sidewalks and facades, also expressed outrage at the appearance of the public space near the house. According to him, looking at this picture, he feels a little disgusted.

It is noted that the height of the garbage mountains stacked along the sidewalks in New York already exceeds the height of a person, and all the waste tanks are overflowing. Representatives of the sanitation department admitted that they were about a day behind the cleaning schedule, so they were trying to work hard, clearing roads of ice and precipitation. To do this, as it is emphasized, the teams work for 12 hours in a row.

"There is at least one positive thing. Because of the cold, the garbage froze. Therefore, it does not rot and does not emit a smell on the streets," the article concluded.
