"MamdaniAs NYC: Residents Raising a Stink over Garbage Piling Up"

"First a foot of snow, then the plowed-in cars, and now frustrated New Yorkers are furious over mountains of trash piling up on city streets,
as collection has been reduced by JanuaryAs massive winter storm.

A reporter from the New York Post took in the ounsavory sightso of the aftermath and documented heaps of garbage bags and cardboard boxes
littering the sidewalks as the Department of Sanitation was still
playing catch-up in several neighborhoods since the winter onslaught.

In another Post story Sunday, the report mentioned oHizzonero Mayor
Zohran Mamdani:

HizzonerAs Upper East Side neighbors are being forced to trudge
through garbage-plagued streets, roaming rodents and mounds of snow
tainted with dog pee a full week after Winter Storm Fern u while the sidewalks outside the lefty mayorAs digs on East 88th Street are
squeaky clean.

Garbage is not the only problem, as snowplows have tended to deposit
high banks of the white stuff against cars parked along the curbs.

Actor Michael Rapaport reported on that problem, saying as he posted a
video on X Sunday morning showing a car trapped by the filthy snow,
oThis poor bastard ainAt getting out until the Spring.o

As for the garbage, one fed-up Upper East Side resident claimed a
mound of trash near his block towers ohigher than a car.o

oItAs very dirty,o Frederick Radie, 55, told the Post, saying garbage
has gone uncollected since first snowfall last weekend. oActually, we
have people visiting, and itAs a little embarrassing,o the 35-year
resident said.

His partner, Mirys Rosa, ripped Mayor Mamdani for urging residents to
be patient.

oThis was like two weeks ago,o the 61-year-old said, calling the trash buildup oso gross, itAs disgusting.o

Wait until summer gets there and the usual power failures occur.

City sanitation officials issued an update on Wednesday, stating on X:

Limited collection is underway. Our priority is collecting trash and compost, and itAs ok to put that material at the curb following your
normal schedule. If possible, please hold your paper and metal/glass/plastic/carton recycling. Please understand collection
will be delayed during ongoing snow operations.

The Department of Sanitation told the Post on Saturday they are
currently operating under oslight delays.o

oWe are prioritizing trash and composting (the stuff that gets gross),
but New Yorkers can follow their regular schedule,o a spokesperson
said. oWe are running hundreds of collection trucks each day in
addition to ongoing snow operations. We just ask for patience as we
catch up.o

Still, some residents were not having it.

oItAs very concerning,o Chris Kendal, 38, told the Post. oThey usually
pick the recycle up on a Monday, so itAs Saturday, so itAs almost been
a week.o

He added, oI donAt know why they canAt pick it up. I mean, buses are
still running, and the city is still operating. So, IAm not sure why
theyAre not able to reduce some of the garbage on the streets.o"

Call the mayor's office and complain. LMAO!
