Reply to comment by bpousley in Philadelphia pulls out of community litter cleanup program, Glitter by Easy-Reading

This really should be the responsibility of the businesses that generate so much trash with their disposable packaging. Many municipalities cannot keep up with the mountains of trash generated every single day. I agree that sanitation should be a public service, but it’s not the city that is generating all of the garbage.

The article states that businesses that generate a certain amount of trash must pay for a private company to collect their trash, and that the city does not do it for them.
