Walkin' On Broken Glass

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

So, I recently got a puppy, which means lots of a) going outside and b) anxiety about said puppy getting injured.  Which leads to c) my noticing that apparently, a lot of Somerville residents like to throw glass bottles and other glass objects extremely hard at the sidewalk.

Has anybody else noticed this?  It's not like I see people actually doing this, but I was kind of taken aback by how much broken glass I see no matter where I go.

EDIT: To fulfill demand of puppy pics:

Congrats on the new puppy. I have noticed the same (and lots of other garbage my puppy wants to eat) as a dog owner and cyclist. I think part of the problem in Somerville are the small open recycling containers. People overload them and stuff ends up in the street and on the sidewalk. Both Cambridge and Medford moved to single stream recycling recently with large containers that have a proper lid. Maybe that's something to bring to the city? It won't solve the problem of littering, but it will help with the accidental garbage on the street.

The city is still evaluating data from the pilot program, which began in October.
