An overflowing dumpster near the railroad tracks in Kalamazoo. Bags are heaped atop the receptacle while flies buzz overhead. A trash bag sits next to the overloaded bin. Smaller items like cigarette packaging are seen tucked into the worn and rusted structure. The sign “keep lids closed” appears impossible to obey in its current state. It warns people against public dumping, though residents say that has happened, too.
