I took this photo on a hot Summer morning, back in August of 2010.

A hard working and dedicated crew from the City of Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation, is viewed performing a residential curbside pick up along the east side of North Harlem Avenue, in Chicago's Norwood Park neighborhood.

Most of Chicago's neighborhoods feature alleys, where the trash collection is performed. However, there are a few exception locations like the one shown here featuring weekly curbside refuse collection.
