I was in DC and it was very hard to find a trash can. I think they might have removed them because of the Inauguration day protests. Some trouble-makers were setting them on fire on Friday. People were improvising with cardboard boxes on Independence Ave. I think most people tried to be helpful. They even announced from the stage at the end of the rally to please pick up trash. And a million people will produce trash.

I cannot remember the name of the company that handles DC's trash, but I looked at their site yesterday when I saw this response cropping up on fb. On their website they say that the trash cans in dc are removed during special events, because trash cans are great places for terrorists to hide bombs.

is laughable considering it was a SATURDAY. Right-wingers are morons.

Funny how none of the thousands who attended Gump's Klan rallies need a job even though he held many of them on weekdays.
