Sublime Sunday a trashy Post
This is a post for Sublime Sunday, created by @c0ff33a here is what he says about it
Welcome to SublimeSunday a tag presenting you with the unique opportunity to post something a bit different, wacky, crazy or just whatever takes your fancy and instigated by me @c0ff33a
As the title states, I will warn you now this is going to be a trashy post.

Now I did warn you and this is indeed just simply trash on the sidewalk in NYC with all the high rise buildings in NYC a lot of garbage is generated and seeing piles of trash like this in the city is a common Site, one admittedly most people would never consider taking a photo of, but I do try to show the good the bad and even the trashy side of the city.
On a streets trash collection day, you will see big piles of trash on the sidewalk, the logistics of all the trash collection trucks on the city must be such a major undertaking, and one I hadn't given much thought about till preparing this post.
And if you think this shot was trashy...
It goes down the toilet from here

Well not exactly down the toilet, but you see all kinds of things in the trash piles on the street, such as furniture in the first shot and even something as simple as a toilet, something I have to admit before seeing this one something I thought I would never take a shot of while walking the streets in NYC.

And finishing off with this shot which fits with the Sublime theme with my edit, but not so much with the trashy side of the post, as these Pallets were stacked up outside a supermarket they had been loaded up with deliveries for the supermarket, and as they were emptied, they were stacked up ready to be loaded on the truck when they finish the job.

Your post title caught my attention! Only your camera could make trash look good ;)
Gosh from toilets to couches! Here only stuff in black bags get taken by our local municipality, but sadly many people here still litter the sidewalks, even though there's bins, it's a huge problem!
Yes here where I live in CT they also only pick up normal trash bags and recycling bigger stuff is picked up on two days a year unlike NYC where it seems to be they pick up everything
Thanks for your kind comment
Here in NM, you have to take the "bigger stuff" to the "transfer station." That's a place where they segregate out furniture, appliances, tools, etc. God knows what's done with it then, but at least you get rid of it. There is a local guy who makes the rounds every few weeks and will take scrap metal for recycling. You put your broken dishwasher, clothes dryer, hot water heater, etc. out by the mailbox -- and pretty soon, it disappears.
We had someone steal our old hot water heater right out of our front yard once before we could get around to hauling it off. On the one hand, it saved us the trouble of dealing with it. On the other hand, it was kind of creepy to think not only did someone know it was there -- because it wasn't real visible from the road ... but they managed to make off with it and we never heard a thing -- despite the fact we are home almost constantly.
We have bulk pickup twice a year where you can put out the big stuff or if you need to get rid of it at other times we also have a transfer station that you can take it to.
That is kind of creepy that someone took it without you even knowing
I remember walking down the street and seeing all of the things that people had put to the road. It is easy to forget that this is something that people in the big cities have to deal with.
Yeah there is no other way they can deal with it in most buildings it is centrally collected and the building Super brings it all out on collection day

Want to have your post on the map too?
Sadly, we have lots of trash people dump on the side of the road because they don’t want to pay for trash pickup or the dumping fee for bigger items.

Luckily I havent seen that where i live now but where i was previously in New Jersey I saw that a lot as well and it used to annoy me
It annoys me a lot. It is this sense of entitlement - that they can just dump their stuff and someone else has to pick it up...
Exactly and sadly it seems to me there are more and more each year with that sense of entitlement
Sad to se the trash like that on the street. But takes great talent to make a shitty post beautiful 😉💕 you manage to do that Jay.
I love your picture with the toilet, your edits there is badass.
And the last picture to.
Well done as always my friend.
I hope you are having a wonderful day. Much love 🤗💕💖

Its not really sad to be honest, its the way trash is dealt with in the city and it only sits there for a few hours till the trucks come and take it all away
Ohh... 🙈 My bad... Lol
I thought it was like that always... Sorry!
Then I get it and eather way.. You made trash look beautiful and that is a talent... Lol
Thanks I started shots like these after someone and it may even have been you who said they bet I could make trash look good so I try LOL
That's cool and... Ya sounds like something I could have said 😁 I dunno... Lol
You made it like a pro and I really wish I knew how you do the colour before black&white.. I never get that right.. Lol

Ok, so it is truly amazing the way you can make trash attractive! Photogenic I would say lol Great shots @tattoodjay! I can't imagine the job of a trash collector in NYC (not to mention I can't imagine what they find!!!!) lol
Thanks this all came from a joke someone made that I could make rubbish look good so now and again I try LOL
I bet the trash collectors in NYC could tell some amazing stories and perhaps scary ones
