St. Louis 环卫试点削减后巷垃圾桶数量：第3与第5区先行 路线用时预计省三小时
位于密苏里州的 St. Louis 市街道局环卫处10月16日推出试点计划，在第3区与第5区减少后巷垃圾桶的数量，使其与全市「每四户一个垃圾桶」的标准看齐。环卫处表示，部分地点的垃圾桶数量超出标准，往往引来非法倾倒，并降低收集效率。
街道局局长 James Jackson 表示，试点的目标是进一步提升垃圾收集的效率与准时性，敞开的垃圾桶容易招致非法倾倒，影响居民生活质量，也分散了收集工作的重点。环卫处预计，试点区域的收集路线用时可缩短约三小时，省下的时间将用于改善全市的收集服务，并减少垃圾车的磨损。自2025年8月全市取消后巷回收后，后巷垃圾收集已加密至每周两次，市府同时增设了回收投放点。

St. Louis Refuse Pilot Trims Alley Dumpsters in Wards 3 and 5: Routes Expected to Run Three Hours Faster
ST. LOUIS, Missouri — The Refuse Division of the City of St. Louis, Missouri, launched a pilot program on October 16 reducing the number of trash dumpsters in alleys in Wards 3 and 5, aligning them with the city's standard of one dumpster for every four households. The division said dumpster counts in some areas exceed that allotment, which often results in increased illegal dumping and decreased service efficiency.
'Our goal with this pilot is to further improve the efficiency and timeliness of our trash collection services,' said Street Department Director James Jackson. 'We know that open dumpsters can attract illegal dumping, impacting the quality of life for our citizens.' The division expects routes in the pilot areas to take about three hours less, with the saved time reinvested in collection services citywide and reduced wear on trash trucks. Since the city ended alley recycling in August 2025, alley trash pickup has run twice a week, and the city has increased recycling drop-off locations for residents.
