A not-so-fun tidbit of NYC sanitation: it has a racist history where well into the 70s, trash was not collected in Black and brown neighborhoods.
It took a Puerto Rican street gang called the Young Lords to change that. They would throw trash from their neighborhood into white neighborhoods up the street until NYC finally caved.
Services born of systemic racism never work well, because what if non-white people benefit?
