This is a
dumpster of trash behind Bodyplex Gym in the parking lot. Bodyplex is a gym off Alps Road that encourages students to join by giving them discounts and free group activities on ocassion. It is an example of public health because of
the need of proper removal of waste in facilities like the ones surrounding
it, not to mention the fact that it is used by a gym that promotes public health in its several locations around Athens. We chose this example because in
many places trash is left on the streets without containers like this one and
it causes a public health hazard. Also
this dumpster looks very-well utilized considering it is almost all full and it
has a phone number to the company who disposes the trash, which is important in
case it is overflowing or not emptied on time.
It is important for others to realize this actually affects public
health because most don't think about the possibility of people’s waste being
displayed on sidewalks to be picked up, and the public can easily disregard the
importance of the public health advocates that make sure these kinds of waste
removal are in place everywhere necessary.
