i would urge people not to lay all the blame on the small businesses at long wharf for this situation - this is largely the city's failure to provide and maintain the appropriate facilities and cleanup directives for a local attraction it acknowledges & promotes.

I see the City of New Haven Parks Department cleaning up around there every Monday morning on my way into work. Many of the workers are doing it by hand with buckets and pickers. They are trying to keep it clean first thing on a Monday after a long and very busy weekend of food truck patrons. I truly think the birds pull lots and lots of garbage out of the overflowing and uncovered trash bins as I've seen the crows and seagulls in the act. The City probably cannot afford to pay their sanitation workers the OT to work on the weekends to keep the bins empty. Perhaps the trucks need to contribute to some extra sanitation fee for weekend emptying. The large bins for the truck workers next to I-95 along with the multiple trash bins for the patrons on the Harbor side are clearly not enough to survive from Friday through Sunday night without anyone emptying them until Monday morning. Good luck.
