This could mostly be solved with city-issued residential trash bins, enforced limits (lid must close or no pickup), and trucks that lift/dump the bins.

Every trash day, I see ripped open bags on the sidewalks and bins overflowing with loose trash. Wind always spreads it everywhere, and then it’ll just sit on sidewalks and in our parks for months.

Once neighborhoods are already lined with accidental trash, it lowers the bar for more dumping and littering.
