East Vancouver smells like shit.

Between West Coast Reduction's rendering plant on North Commercial, the vomit and urine streaking the sidewalks and alleyways after special events, and the epic piles of garbage, it's hard to argue that the east side of town smells like anything other than rancid death.

To wit, I present the 2013 East Van Garbage Watch (patent pending): a semi-regular series of photos of disgustingness.

Exhibit D: General Brock Park's woefully inadequate garbage can situation.

This 2.11-hectare park near Nanaimo Street and 28th Avenue boasts but one sad, lonely, overflowing trash recepticle.

The rest of the park is littered (ha ha ha) with random garbage as well.

Just in case you're not quite sure where the garbage bin is, this trail of trash helpfully points the way.

So sad; this park ain't seen any love in a long, long time.

Garbage can overflowing? Just wrap your trash in a plastic bag and toss it near the sidewalk. Because someone else will pick it up, right?

Previously on East Van Garbage Watch: Guelph Park's extremely rancid trash can offends any and all sensibilities.

Have an East Van garbage photo you want to share? Tweet it to me at @charenton_ with the photo's location, date it was taken, and any other observations you may have.
