**[GARBAGE GAZETTE](/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/garbage2.jpg):** With the trash bin long past full, people have started delicately balancing coffee cups and other wonderful decorations in nooks in the trash heap. But they haven’t stayed there long, as it looks like there’s been a few mini avalanches. The worst part is the area between the can and the light pole, which I didn’t capture very well in this photo.

It’s also pouring out more towards the street, and more litter is filling the sewer drain:

We say it again: before last week, when [there was no can at this Avenue Z and East 14th Street corner](/its-back-return-of-east-14th-street-trash-bin-gives-chance-to-observe-garbage-theory/), there was no garbage problem. Now we’ve got a can, and we’ve got a garbage problem.

Following [our update yesterday](/garbage-theory-and-now-it-overflows/), a few readers asked if we were suggesting that all trash cans be removed, or if more pickups are needed, or if just this can needs to be removed, or this or that or the other. The answer is, we don’t know. There was a theory that garbage cans lead to more garbage, not less, and so cans should be removed. We’ll let you draw your own conclusions.

But one thing’s for sure: this is officially a mess.
