A subway commuter eats next to litter, Thursday March 30, 2017, in New York. Faced with the problem of too much litter and too many rats in their subway stations, New York City transit officials began an unusual social experiment a few years ago. They removed trash bins entirely from select stations, figuring it would deter people from bringing garbage into the subway in the first place. This week, they pulled the plug on the program after reluctantly concluding that it was a failure. (AP Photo/Bebeto Matthews)
