Bus Stop on my Property - Littering ISSUE

Hello I'm not sure if anyone has run into the situation, but it is most likely unique to the city of Philadelphia. 

I have a property that is located on a somewhat busy street. It is a corner unit and there is a septa bus stop there. It's great in terms of location, but the main issue that I have is that there is no public trashcan for the bus stop.

This means that people are constantly littering around my property, and I am forced to pick up all of their trash. Installing a camera seems like a good idea, but it won't really stop the issue in my opinion. 

Having a good sanitation system, and a city that cares about having a clean environment would be a great start.

Unfortunately, after contacting the city and local groups that claim to want to make the city a beautiful place do not want to help put up a public trashcan.

My last resource is contacting SEPTA and asking them. I will be reaching out to them, and will update this post on what they mention.

Also, in the city of Philadelphia, if someone dumped trash onto your property and you reported the owner of the property will be the one who gets fined.

Pretty backwards no?
