I seriously doubt the president ordered the barricades specifically. It's probably SOP when the Parks service closes certain things indefinitely.

Maybe it's a private trash company and the account has been paid in advance for the next month or something.

I have this fantasy that if the trash started overflowing and there was no pickup service in sight then the community would step up and clean up. I know that's not likely.
