By Gabrielle Cajas SYRACUSE, N.Y. (NCC News) – Syracuse homeowners are putting both trash and recyclables in bins outside of their homes. People who collect cans have started to pick through the bins in search for returnable cans.
As a result, the trash scavengers end up spreading garbage all over the property.
Tupper Propety Management, an off-campus housing company, is receiving many complaints from homeowners. Isaac Tupper, an employee, said this is a touchy subject because some of these people desperately need the money they make off recyclable cans.
“I don’t even know..how do you fix the problem without being an a-hole?” Tupper said.
