Garbage collection resumed today for those whose pick-up day is Monday.
In the Brooklyn neighborhood of Kensington, Mili Gonzales, 21, contemplated what she said was two weeks’ worth of garbage from the two-apartment house where she lives with her mother and four brothers. A broken umbrella, an empty box of baby wipes and a plastic case that held a bed set were out in plain sight, amid 13 large bags.
“Gift wrap, boxes, Champagne bottles, beer,” she said. Chicken bones were also stuffed into the bags, and to make matters worse, she said, it was time for annual housekeeping.
“We throw out the old stuff we don’t need for the new year,” like clothing, kitchenware and television sets, which were also out front waiting to be picked up.
