Mattress and box spring pick up
My recycling was picked up yesterday, but my trash was not. Both were sitting in the driveway as usual. I can wait to set it out again until next week, but I thought I would report the issue and ask that they be sure to take the trash as well next week.
The property right next door, 1623 E 1st St, is a rental property that the tenants just moved out of. The trash can is overflowing and blocking the street for over a week. (Mr. Bigelow called the front desk of City Hall and spoke with me - Isabella V)
Trash can has been left out front of house for 2-3 weeks. Elkins has been notified over a week ago.
Our dumpster is frequently overflowing and is not taken out on a regular enough schedule. There is often trash spread all over the yard around the dumpster, animals getting in the trash and scattering it, and food/animal waste all over the ground around the dumpster. I have asked our property to increase the amount of times the dumpster is emptied, specifically around this time of year, but they do not act on those requests and this continues to happen throughout the year.
For two weeks now, the only dumpster at Town and Country, managed by Distinct Management, has been stuffed and overflowing. The only time in those two weeks that the trash has been removed was this Monday, and even then the debris surrounding the dumpster had been left to sit and rot. Cones had been placed to tell people to not put trash in front of the dumpster, and the signs were worn down in just a couple of days. Now the cones have been moved away and trash is now blocking the even the dumpster from being able to be emptied by the trash companies. This trash pile-up is attracting a large amount of pests and is making it hard for us to dispose of the waste in our own homes.
Refuse partially blocking sidewalk.
Trash scattered about on north side of property along 11th Street. Wild animals digging through it.
Discarded furniture along street. Property to the east across the alley has the same. It's been there so long it is killing the grass. If residents have moved out, can property owners be obliged to clean up their tenants' messes?
The managers at Distinct Management have been neglecting their responsibilities as landlords to maintain a clean environment and provide the necessary accommodations to facilitate proper disposal of waste by their residents. This picture was taken 24 July in the afternoon. The context of this picture is that the trash bin was stuffed by 15 July. By 17 July, it was overflowing. That entire week, there was not a single trash collection, and the waste piled up and piled up. The dumpster was finally cleared the morning of 24 July. In less than 4 hours, it went from empty to this state. This is also after I saw people sent by management to clean up the waste around the bin. The trash is only more built up today. There is only this small trash bin for over 50 units in this complex, and it is constantly overfilled. With move-out season, the problem is much worse. Please require them to add additional/larger waste disposal facilities.
