Re:Making a Living Collecting Cans on Tuesday October 08, 2013 @06:36PM (#6518307)
I live 2 blocks away from this recycling center and visit Safeway almost everyday for either food or getting off the Muni.

It's terrible.

Just a few of my headaches:

• Smells absolutely terrible

• When walking down Castro with my girlfriend we use the other side after many overly aggressively slurs from the slew of bums that hang out by this heap.

• It draws numerous crews of drifters that recycle cans then binge on the spoils on the steps of safeway. Fights break out weekly.

• It creates a "hobo highway" in which my female friends now avoid because it is filled with bums. This looks like rape alley at night.

• Bums bring their dogs to wait in line and they shit all over the sidewalk. That was awesome to wipe off in the morning.

• The really crazy bums like to ride their carts down market street flying through red lights, which I was almost hit by last month.

It might be cool to support the ongoing of recycling centers so less fortunate people have a way to make money but try living next to the place before writing an article about how you think its so unhippie of San Francisco.
