Respect for the environment

The flower shop shares a dumpster with a coffee shop. On Wednesday, I noticed that the dumpster was full and that bags of trash were on the ground. Trash is picked up on Thursday morning, so I expected that once the dumpster was empty, someone from the coffee shop would pick up the mess on the ground. When I drove in this morning, I saw garbage bags on the ground. I switched my knit gloves for latex, locked the flower shop door and armed with a snow shovel, picked up the trash and tossed it in the dumpster. I am annoyed that the employees at the coffee shop care so little for the earth that they would dump the trash on the ground. The coffee shop needs another dumpster and more containers for recycled items. My dad taught me respect for the environment and many times, I have hauled items to be recycled to my home to dispose of in the proper containers.
