Mr. Johnson complained that he had "somewhat of an animal emergency" but was unable to get through to the Animal Control/Shelter. I talked to the Shelter, and apparently they are short 4 staff members and are very busy. When I said that I'd received a complaint they apologized but said that it was important to leave a message, which the gentelman appraently did not do.

Citizen says she saw trash crew throw her can and it was airborne for about 10 feet. Says she constantly finds her cans all over the yard. Understands that we can't replace all cans neatly where they were found, but thinks crews could take more care in handling her trash cans.
Citizen says a "little guy with dark hair" from Truck 946 threw his can 4 or 5 feet up in the air and bent it all up. Says he had to hammer it back out. Claims this happens often.
Citizen says after trash/recycling pickup on Tuesday her cans and bins were scattered all over and, broken glass was left in the street and a non-accepted piece of plastic was thrown in the yard. J.A. explained that often these things happen after the crew leaves, but we would make them aware of it.
Citizen says trash crew threw his can against a concrete barrier and broke the handle. Says recycling crew threw his cardboard containers around his and his neighbor's yard. He will purchase new can & send receipt to City. Ken - please check with crews and respond to Julio.

Called OOTM and asked to remain anonymous but nature of her comments (and number on caller id) indicated it was Ms. Keene.

Said she has contacted the ICLU and will write a letter to the H-T.
