There is also clear discrimination in who the Department of Sanitation hires... Garbage pickup day is a trigger warning for me. It is hurtful to see very few people like myself – in their 70s and wearing coats and ties – emptying garbage cans into sanitation trucks. True, I can’t lift a garbage can. But many other municipal agencies hire people who can’t do their jobs. Why should the Department of Sanitation be different? Next, the Department of Sanitation causes pollution of the atmosphere – you can smell it! It harms the Earth’s ecology by dumping dirty garbage into the ground. “Landfills” are nothing but land filled with dirty waste... And studies show that the Earth is losing dirt at a rapid rate due to rising sea levels from climate change... causing dirty oceans.

Intro paragraph ... It’s time to broaden our horizons and start thinking about reforming additional municipal agencies. Now that the “Defund the Police” advocates have had their say... (With evident effect in Minneapolis, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Baltimore, the District of Columbia, New York City, Los Angeles, and elsewhere...)

The Department of Sanitation is obviously discriminatory. There’s much more trash on the streets in poor neighborhoods than there is in neighborhoods where the affluent live.
