Trash:
Other: Subject: Notice and constructive feedback regarding trash collection at the stated address I am writing to report a recent sanitation issue and to constructively suggest a structural change to prevent future occurrences. On 6/17/2026, responsible parties at the stated address did not follow collection guidelines and piled extra bags on top of their full bins. During pickup, the collection crew left one of these excess bags on the ground. Because the bag remained on the curb overnight, local wildlife tore it open. This scattered rotting food waste is now creating a possible health hazard and a severe mess for the neighborhood. Additionally, bins on the street remain at the curb more than 24 hours after collection. To ensure our neighborhood stays clean and safe, I would like to suggest two updates to current practices: * Enforce a strict "Tag and Leave" policy: Instead of leaving a loose bag on the ground where animals can access it, crews could leave the bag inside the bin with an educational warning tag. * Issue reminders for bin removal: Send a neighborhood-wide notice regarding the local ordinance that requires bins to be stored away within 24 hours of collection. *Have a means to take the extra bags and charge extra for the service. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
