sje writes in the Prospect Heights Message Boards: “Has anyone else noticed that the wire garbage baskets, usually on every corner, or at least every other corner, are disappearing in Prospect Heights? Is the city trying to save money?”

“If you own dogs like I do, it gets mighty old carrying a bag of stinking fresh shit around for 4 or 5 blocks trying to find a can to throw it in. I don’t like putting it in people’s personal trash cans in front of their houses, but I frequently have no choice.”

“I mostly walk them on Underhill, which is especially barren. What’s going on? How can we get them back? 311?”

daisyh adds: “I’ve been thinking the same thing in Park Slope. There is exactly one public trash can between Flatbush and Union along 6th! What’s the deal? I have a sneaking suspicion that the residents have something to do with it – the cans are too tacky, too declassé for the beautiful Slope…”

What’s grosser than that?
It’s going back down for seconds.

File under “ew ew EEEEEW this is so NASTY!”:

(Pictured: 269 Prospect Place, a building from which garbage has allegedly been thrown.)

After 200 years on the “out” list, throwing garbage out of your window is once again “IN” in Prospect Heights! Here’s a sampling of some items that the upstairs neighbors have pitched onto Vanilla’s windowsill: “dirty napkins, used paper plates, dirty toilet paper(!!!), dirty underwear, tank tops, mouse traps (the glue kind), dirty Q-tips, hair clumps …and other assorted objects. “

This is not an isolated incident, as the 19 posts in this Prospect Heights Message Board thread suggest. For example, here’s sje describing her neighbor’s year-round “diaper tree”:

“…someone from the big building next to me threw out of their window a plastic bag containing baby clothing and dirty, used diapers, which got caught up in the huge tree straddling our backyards…”
