Commentroversy: Big Bellys Have Long Been Foes To Freegan Umbrella Pickers

From Philebrity:

Posted earlier today in reply to “Big Belly Trash Can, You Lying Whore”:

this is amazing for me. My company takes broken umbrellas off the streets, out of the trash cans and repurposes them through upcycling into made to order dog coats, hats and other things. Last year when the Phils went to the World Series, it was like open trash can heaven bc they replaced all the big bellys with the regular “old school” cans which made my life as a trash picker a hell of alot easier. After we lost, they took away all the open trash cans and I wrote to the city's dept of waste management obviously as someone who knows alot about trash to tell them about what I do and how much the big bellys DON'T work (come on, we've all seen non recyclables shoved in the “bottle hole”). A women who works for the city responded basically telling me that the big bellys were Gods gift to Philadelphia and they were here to stay and they would offer me no help whatsoever trying to get people to stop shoving broken umbrellas into them when they clearly don't fit.

if big bellys leave the city, I'm going to have a party. the end.

There you have it: One man's trash can is another man's… trash can. And oh, what a party that would be.
