[quote=Anonymous]Many moving parts to keep urban and commercial areas free of litter.

Certainly begins with local government officials caring, developing sustainable and fully funded solutions, and staying on top of it. Organized labor has to be looped in because it's muni workers or maybe public trans workers changing out bins. Local government usually has to press merchants and commercial RE owners to stay on top of litter abatement. Real estate investors are greedy people, so they aren't in the habit of spending money on additional labor unless it helps their bottom line. Munis can ticket business owners if the areas around their businesses fuel litter issues. And of course higher rung clientele around shops will avoid places which are gross and litter filled. But that probably circles back to local government; the clientele are local homeowners and they complain about businesses with trash and litter issues, because litter and trash blows in the wind and impacts the perception of a broader neighborhood. Government officials don't want the complaints or to get on the bad side of too many constituents. In an apathetic community, nobody cares; residents don't care, so government doesn't care, and shop owners and RE investors don't live in the downscale areas, so what do they care.[/quote]
