After 200 years on the “out” list, throwing garbage out of your window is once again “IN” in Prospect Heights!

This is not an isolated incident, as the 19 posts in this Prospect Heights Message Board thread suggest. For example, here’s sje describing her neighbor’s year-round “diaper tree”:
“…someone from the big building next to me threw out of their window a plastic bag containing baby clothing and dirty, used diapers, which got caught up in the huge tree straddling our backyards…”
