Only in Mississauga I find this disgusting behaviour.
Why are people just openly littering. It never used to be like this. What happened ?

If you every have the opportunity to visit Japan you’ll notice they don’t have garbage bins anywhere and there’s trash nowhere to be found.
I think it’s a cultural/societal problem. Not a lack of trash bin problem.
Agree. I live in the US where it's hit or miss to find trash cans out in public. If there is no trash bin, paper waste just goes into my pockets. Stuff that won't fit in my pockets goes into my bag until I get home. The places I have lived, just about my whole life, are full of fucking litter, and it pissed me off so much I refuse to litter. I caught one neighbor throw trash on the ground in front of her yard. I said, "This is your home, why are you throwing trash where you live? Don't you want your house to look nice?" Her response was, "I don't care, the state is paying the rent." I would say in this instance it isn't about poverty, or getting government assistance, it's a person feeling no connection to the community around them, so they just don't give a fuck.
