How were these people expected to dispose of their trash? My household generates nearly a bag of trash per person per week, mostly food and drink packaging I think. A couple dozen people could fill a dumpster a week. But it simply disappears if we leave it by the street in front of my home. How does that work when you're homeless?
There was a dumpster on site. They didn't use it. Also, what peregrin5 said.
A lot of the trash isn't generated. It's collected. A homeless person isn't going out and buying stuff off Amazon or food that has lots of packaging. But if you live around homeless folks you can often recognize them by the pile of junk they've collected from various sources, most of which they don't have any actual use for. Many just seem to have a compulsion to packrat things.
