I'm contacting you because this morning at my residence, 213 N Grant St, we received a notice of violation for BMC 6.04.070. Before seeing this notice on our front door, my roommate found that someone had ripped open our trash bags and left that trash all over our yard. This is by far from the first time this has happened. Since August, we have had issues with people ripping open our trash. These people have become comfortable enough to leave their own trash in our yard, even including used needles. This situation has gotten out of hand. On this occasion they ripped open separate bags inside our trash bags that contained trash from our bathroom, leaving used feminine products strewn across our yard. The comment on our notice said to remove all trash from our yard. My roommates and I in between classes today, have been picking up this trash all morning. We will be contacting other departments because this issue of trespassing on our property has gotten out of hand, even after contacting law enforcement. I wanted to bring it to this department's attention that our house is not causing this mess.

Excessive trash behind house. Trash is continually picked through by homeless individuals. House is vacant, which seems to be why it is never picked up.
