A new study from LawnStarter.com has pinpointed the "Dirtiest Cities in America" as they ranked conditions in the 150 largest cities in the USA.

Here's the criteria they used to rank the cities on their list:

  • Pollution - includes issues with the quality of the air and water, greenhouse gas emissions, excessive fuel use, and the population of smokers in the city.
  • Living conditions - includes things like cramped living spaces, houses without plumbing or kitchens, and houses with roach, rodent, mold, or sewage issues.
  • Infrastructure - such as the quantity of junkyards in the city and the way that waste is collected
  • Consumer Satisfaction - takes into account the opinions of locals on their city's cleanliness, pollution, and garbage collection.
