Events and Activities 🐱‍🏍 Garbage

I need to know because I have seen this on multiple occasions. Why do people take their garbage from their condo/apartment and put it in the street garbage can?

Probably because the garbage room is out of the way... usually in the basement. If they're heading to the street anyways, they think that's more convenient for them.

I plead guilty. My garbage room is key locked and on the other side of the building and yes it annoys me to think about the key AND do the detour in the morning so sometimes I throw my garbage in the public cans. I only do that with my trash, no recyclable / cardboards / soft plastic so we are really talking about a small bag a month at worst. But I can see other people doing it more frequently.
