Trash Outside of Hudson News in Grand Central Terminal Nov. 19, 1999

Question: Why do you never see a scene like this in front of any Banana Republic store in any shopping mall in America?

Answer: Because shopping malls and Banana Republic shops are professionally managed.

Who shoud we hold accountable for situations like this? Grand Central management? Unionized workers? Hudson News staff?

Here is another angle on the mess outside of Hudson News.

Ummm, isn't the trash container there to contain the trash?

Why do workers leave full bags of trash next to trash containers? If you have an idea, share it on our Message Board.

Note too that the trash container is starting to overflow with garbage as well.

I love the arrow graphic on the trash container to indicate where the refuse should go. We know where the trash should go, but does the management of Grand Central have a clue?

In case you think this is an isolated incident, here is another example.

The orange label on the box of trash says it all.
