Man Named Service Cleans Up NYC Dumping Site Himself

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA man named Joshua Service spent two hours cleaning up a dumping site under a New York rail station, filling about ten garbage bags, the Good News Network reports.

2. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHis surname is Service. He did a service. I'd like to see the paperwork on that.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHe walked past it on his commute from Queens, called 311, and says the city told him it would take seven days of visits before cleanup.

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSeven days of visits. To look at a pile.

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorCBS New York reports sanitation held off partly because the site was also considered an encampment, and workers had to confirm the belongings weren't someone's.

6. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo the rubbish had a seven-day waiting list and he had a rake. The rake was always going to win.

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMy theory is that someone sent the seven days to a committee, and the committee is still meeting.

8. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorMine is that his parents named him Service in the hope of exactly this, and it took twenty-five years to pay off.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe city says it will inspect the site within seven days. He has already inspected it, and he brought the gloves.
