While I fully support residents’ ability to compost and maintain sustainable practices on their own property, the current placement of this compost pile is creating issues for others nearby. It has become a noticeable eyesore and is producing odors that are impacting the surrounding area. Please see several reports about this from many neighbors. This is an ongoing issue. Because this structure is located in the right-of-way, it affects not only the adjacent property but also the broader neighborhood. Composting should be maintained in a manner that does not negatively impact others, including being placed out of public view and at an appropriate distance from neighboring homes. I respectfully ask that this situation be reviewed and that the resident be required to relocate the compost pile to a more appropriate location on their property, where it is not visible from the street and does not create a nuisance for others.

This is a request for advice- not notifying of an issue. The home we purchased has a lot of overgrowth: trees, bushes, some poison ivy, and invasive plant species like some of the honeysuckles. We have already started removing some and have a very large pile (when we are finished, it will probably fill a large roll-off dumpster). What does the city typically do when they are clearing brush? Do you chip it or does that just spread the problem items further? Or do you know of any companies that might pick up for a price? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you! Christine
