A video has surfaced capturing a worker blowing garbage into the street in an East End Montreal neighbourhood. The footage, which has been widely shared on social media, has sparked outrage among residents and raised concerns about proper waste management practices.
The incident occurred on Tuesday morning in the Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie borough, near the intersection of Saint-Zotique and Saint-Denis streets. The video, taken by a passerby, shows a worker using a leaf blower to push piles of garbage onto the street, instead of properly disposing of it.
Residents in the area were quick to express their frustration and disappointment with the worker’s actions. Many took to social media to share their thoughts, with some calling for stricter regulations and consequences for those who do not follow proper waste management protocols.
The City of Montreal has since responded to the incident, stating that the worker in question was not following proper procedures and that they will be taking appropriate measures to address the situation. They also reminded citizens that blowing garbage into the street is not only unsightly, but also poses a risk to the environment and public health.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of proper waste management and the responsibility we all have in keeping our communities clean. It is crucial for workers to follow proper procedures and for citizens to dispose of their waste in the designated areas.
The City of Montreal has also urged residents to report any similar incidents they may witness in the future. By working together, we can ensure that our neighbourhoods remain clean and safe for all. Let us all do our part in keeping our city beautiful.
