PHILADELPHIA — There is outrage brewing over illegal trash dumping in one Philadelphia neighborhood, and there’s a major effort to catch the culprits.
Trash bags, cardboard, old furniture, and other debris litter 3rd and Somerville in the Logan neighborhood of North Philadelphia.“There were kids out here actually walking around the trash into oncoming traffic because they were not trying to walk through the filth,” said Terrill Haigler, better known in Philly as “Ya Fav Trashman.”
That’s Ya Fav Trashman. He organized a massive cleanup response on Martin Luther King Day. Volunteers collected 10 tons of trash, but the next day, someone dumped bags of trash all over again. “It’s infuriating. If I had to use an SAT word, I am flabbergasted because we did so much work. We worked so hard and it’s a slap in the face to the people who spent three hours picking this stuff up,” Haigler said.“Look. you have floor tile, this is all construction,” Haigler said.
