Another nice weekend, another sighting of overflowing FroYo cup-topped trash in front of St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery.
Jeremiah has written about this...
...and I don't have anything to add to the discussion...
...but I was curious what people do when they need to discard their trash and there aren't any available trash cans...

Trashquake
Something called "Fashion Now! Youthquake" camped out on Avenue A between Seventh Street and Sixth Street today. There were two buses and a truck or two. Not much was going on the times that I passed by...
After the group left, though, the remnants from their catering ended up on the sidewalk and street.
Also, thanks to RatherBeBiking in the comments...As he noted: "Well, not only was the … ‘quake… responsible for a load of trash, their VIPs TLC hires blocked up the bike lane, one of them taking up part of the pedestrian crosswalk, bike box, AND bike lane on Avenue a for more than a few minutes."

Goodbye to all that
Or maybe one last (rather pathetic) attempt to enjoy a winter sport? On Second Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue.

There's likely a perfectly good reason why someone threw away a straw bale

BREAKING: Bed bugs infiltrating bedroom(s) of Avenue B
Looks like just another unassuming pile of trash of the curb on Avenue B, just past the Christodora, right?
Well, LOOK CLOSER!
[On Avenue B, between 9th Street and 10th Street]

One man's dream: Colorful trash bags in the city
From today's Metro New York:
Adrian Kondratowicz is tired of the “bland and mundane” black trash bags tossed onto city sidewalks. His dream is to see an entire swath of Manhattan south of 14th Street lined with cheerily colorful polka dotted bags for at least one week.
That’s still the goal of his project, TRASH:anycoloryoulike, but for now, the Helmut Lang model-turned-artist has scaled down his vision to a handful of installations using bright pink biodegradeable bags.
“It was difficult to get sponsorship,” Kondratowicz said. “Everyone liked the idea, but no one wanted to write me a check. So I wrote myself one.”
He coughed up $8,000 to make eco-friendly bags because he “didn’t want to create more waste.” They decompose in one to seven years.
And thank you for answering my question. Cost.
The bags are costly to make and are not yet a “mass product,” Kondratowicz noted. He sells signed bags as collectors items — or for trash, if a buyer chooses. The bags range from $10 for the pink with white polka dots to $25 for gold dots.
Meanwhile, don't mind me. I need to do this.

Admiring the trash at 2 Gold Street
In the morning...
...and late afternoon.
...and late afternoon.
Impressive! (Looks more impressive in person, of course!) With so much trash, this must be 24k living!
