9 --- Rubbish! Londoners must tread on trash The Associated Press LONDON — There's no way to get around it anymore; despite its manicured gardens, carefully preserved historic monuments and architectural treasures, London has become a filthy city. Some of the capital's littered streets have become obstacle courses of trash bags, fast-food wrappers, beer cans and dog droppings. London, with nearly 7 million residents, generates about 14 million tons of waste annually, said Jeff Cooper of the London Waste Regulation Authority. New York City, with population of 8 million, generates about 8 million tons of trash last year, according to the city's sanitation department. A lot of London's garbage becomes litter. To reach the trendy restaurants and West End theaters of Soho or Covent Gardens, patrons often must dodge overflowing garbage bags heaped on curbs and around lamp-posts. At subway stations, commuters tread gingerly over slippery potato chip bags and cellophane wrappers and step around wads of gum that cover stairways and escalators. cover startways and other In London's financial district, stockbrokers and bankers daily leave a 90-ton trail of newspapers, coffee cups and fast-food wrappers. The litter threatens London's tourist industry, said Michael Mediclit, chief executive of the British Tourist Authority. Authority. The Tidy Britain Group, a charity has produced a television ad showing central London's Oxford Street crowded with pigs — of the two-legged and four-legged varieties. A man is seen sprouting a pig's tail through his trousers as he opens a letter and discards it in a hedge. A woman at a bus stop stops a used tissue under her seat, and her hand becomes a pig's hoof. Few London boroughs have "pooper-scooper" laws, so pet owners don't clean up after their animals. Recycling isn't common and cans and bottles carry no refund. Most Londoners live in apartments with little kitchen or communal storage space, and many must put their trash bags on the curb days before it is gone. Some businesses, reluctant to lose selling space, dump empty crates and packaging outside their doors The borough of Kensington is fighting back by looking through illegally dumped trash for something that might identify the culprit.
