The trashpickers are becoming more and more brazen on the Near North Side.

On a recent night, instead of just going through the garbage and spreading what they didn’t want on the ground, one even took the city-provided trash cart to haul away the haul! This is the second time this year for us, and our next door neighbor also has had a cart taken.

Our garbage and carts must be better than we realize. And the amazing thing is, there were no recyclables in there yet.
