I hate national strikes.

Mine pit on the outskirts of Centralia, PA. An underground mine fire has been burning there since 1962 due to burning garbage in these pits.

Inspired by a comment by Diastema, I decided to take a little trip back in time.

garbage strike in amsterdam

Here's an old photo of mine that gets a bunch of hits back on the FuzzyCo site, so I figured I'd pop it up here, too. The Statue of Liberty and a garbage barge, as seen from the Staten Island Ferry, September 2000.

Fox seen on Alley Cat stakeout; It was at the other end of the alley checking out the garbage. I only got 2 pictures of it, and the other picture was far too blurry. This is the best I could get in the few short moments I saw it.

 

This picture was not taken the night I caught the mother cat, but rather 2 days earlier.

 

The alley is typically not overly busy, but on Monday night when I went, I almost packed it in right then and there. I usually go around 9:30 and stay until 10:30 because that is after most of the children are at home and many people are done gardening and hanging around outside. It is a little later than I like for bedtime purposes, but I have to work with the cat's routines and habits.

 

On that Monday evening, there were people everywhere. There were several people walking down the alley every so often and then some running around chasing their dogs. Children were out until almost 11 pm riding their bikes. The cats came almost right away when I put the food and the trap out, but they kept getting scared away by passersby.

 

Soon after I set up some people walked by my vehicle. A woman peered inside my window and tapped on it. I got out and walked around to other side where she was and she was clearly drunk or on drugs. She made almost no sense, but I did understand her to say that it was her birthday. I suppose she was trying to get me to give her money. I finally told her I couldn't help her and at that point noticed a tame cat in my trap gulping down my food so I ran over to try to get him out!

 

As I was trying to get him out, the drunk woman wandered off, and I noticed the mother cat coming. So I went back to my car and hoped for the best. The tame cat was still eating in the trap, but I decided that he would just reinforce the fact that the trap was safe to the mother cat. The mother cat gave the tame cat a look, and he instantly backed out of the trap and took off. The mother took off after him. Later she came back and hung out with Shadow.

 

Shadow would go in and eat from time to time, but the mother ignored the trap for the time. I started out with only Whiskas kibble for bait, because when the trap springs shut the cat panics and whatever bait is used gets spilled all over the cat and the trap. Kibbles would just spill on the ground and there would be less mess to deal with.

 

Even though I usually shut down around 10:30, things in the alley were just starting to get less noisy so I stayed. I was convinced the mother would go in there if she were undisturbed long enough. Eventually she started circling the trap from a distance, but then she settled under a car nearby and seemed not overly hungry.

 

So, I brought out the sardines I had brought along just in case and put them into the trap. By now it was just after 11 and starting to get dark. A few minutes after putting out the sardines, Shadow was on his way to check it out and along came a fox. The fox was greatly interested in the sardines, and I had no choice but to open my car door and yell at him. Of course this disturbed the cats too. The fox started to run off, but then thought better of it and came back. I had to yell at it again. If it wasn't so dark I would have tried to photograph it first.

 

In any case, after that, the cats were wary again. They were not overly afraid of the fox. Shadow arched his back at it, and looked prepared to fight it (which worries me a little). It was my yelling at the fox that made the cats nervous, I think. In any case, time went on and it got darker and darker. The mother cat would make occasional circles around the trap, getting my hopes up each time. Then she would lie down nearby just watching. Shadow had a nice sardine snack in front of her.

 

Finally it got so dark I could barely see. I decided to shut down at 12 if nothing happened by then. I could see Shadow go in the trap again and the mother circling again. It was so dark I turned on the park lights on my car. I could barely distinguish which cat was which and where they were. Finally, the mother cat went in and started eating. I wasted no time pulling the string attached to the stick holding the trap open and finally at 10 to 12, I caught her!

the strike seems to be an excellent reason do throw out any old stuff you have lying around in the basement or attic. like an old chair or bike without steer. a public bin appears to be an acceptable place to collect these items.

"Garbage plates" are a western New York delicacy. This one had french fries, fried eggplant sticks, onions, peppers, mushrooms, rice, black beans, jalapeños, chicken, shredded cheese and cheese sauce. I might have forgotten an ingredient or three. But it was surprisingly good!

AN2 and 8142 (in lieu of AN7) on 2122 Garbage Train passing through Clyde.

even though the everybody is aware of the garbage strike and the public bins are taped off, the consumer doesn't seem to care and dumps their fastfood waste around the bins anyway.

Or trash day, or rubbish day, depending on which English speaking country you live in.

 

Frost and tree shadows on the grass in the chilly early morning...

  

Garbage that washed in via Stony Creek during a recent rain in East Norriton, Montgomery county, Pennsylvania. I cleaned up what I could reach and, just in this small patch, collected 1/2 of a large garbage bag full of plastic bottles (20+) and styrofoam. Also, there was one soggy sandal (bottom center).

My friend Ernest (who looks like a total bum here) digs throught the dumpsters full of vintage beer cans parked outside our building. A third dumpster has now appeared. When will it end?

 

Update: So the deal is these belonged to a guy known as "The Beer Can Man". He had a place in our building and collected these along with bar signs and all sorts of other stuff. He died a while back and these are being hauled away. They can't be recycled for the deposit because they are tin and steel.

 

By the end there were 12 trailer-size dumpsters of cans!
