Love love love that. My pet peeve is people who throw crap out their car windows. When I am feeling particularly brave, I like to pull up next to them to let them know they dropped something. I understand I am likely to get shot but a girl's gotta do her part to keep her city clean.

thanks for the suggestion, Jaah, but I've put my own can out there, which most people are considerate enough to use for litter. I'm opening myself up to a fine, though, by having a can in sight on non-pickup nights.
if the JCIA is anything like their buddies in the JCPA, I bet that calling them will simply result in a fine for me, and continued trash left by others. one brilliant neighbor left a bag full of junk mail, which had her name and address all over it. I left the bag on her stoop with a note, saying "I believe this is yours."

Maybe try contacting the JCIA and alert them to your corner's problem. Maybe they can send an inspector to keep watch for a week and fine the culprits. Not sure if they will do it but maybe you can work with them to find a solution. Just tring to help...

it's not vandals who've cost us our public trash cans. it's people filling them up with bags of household garbage.
we have curbside pickups twice-weekly, yet some entitled JC residents can't bear to hold onto their own trash, and instead inflict it on their neighbors, causing the corner cans to overflow and, subsequently, get taken away by the fed-up city. I live in a corner building, and at least twice a week I come home to a present left by one of my neighbors, in the form of boxes, old computers and bags of trash that they can't keep in their apartments for the two days until the next pickup. they don't want it in their way, so I get it in mine, and the whole corner area looks like a ghetto because of it. thanks, neighbors.

manhattan isnt that different. i lived in brooklyn for 4 years and have seen queens. 90% of the intersections have trash cans and they were a big contribution to the streets remaining clean inboth those boroughs. obviously, this isnt NYC and never will be, but i dont think its that hard to keep the streets a little cleaner. I dont know what it is about here that vandals are so excited about breaking trash cans, but perhaps the cans themselves need to be bolted down to the street to be savage proof since thats who seems to prevent the city from staying clean.

Jersey City DOES have trash cans -- the SEWERS.

I love the logic. We should accept a filthy city because we have a lackadaisical police force. Perfect. Perhaps if vandalism is a problem, we should improve public safety in addition to cleaning up all the litter.

This is not Manhattan (N.Y.) and Paris is for tourists. It's Jersey City where it is costly to tax payers to constantly replace the public trash cans because of vandals. Also do you think the other boroughs have a trash can on every corner ? Manhattan is different.

Litter in this city is getting out of control, and a lot has to do with the lack of trash cans.
I feel like any corner in New York will have a trash can on at least one point of the intersection, if not all four. Meanwhile, Jersey City is lucky to have a trash can every three blocks.

the Harsimus Cove Association voted unanimously at their July General meeting to ask the city to impose the $100,000 bond on SK Properties as they are not abiding by the ordinance that sets forth the proper maintenance of the Plaza.
We will be writing a letter to the Mayor and presenting it to City Council to ask for the bond. The funds can then be used to maintain the Plaza, and the funds can be replenished.

Many thanks go out to the random guy who left the PATH around 8pm last night (July 15) and picked up other people's trash littering the Grove Street plaza, and put it in the garbage bin!!!
