See case #188814. Action does not appear to have been taken. Rat problem is increasing. This dumpster is *regularly* visited by people who do not live in the complex, both those who drive up, dump their trash and then speed away, and also by those who climb into the dumpster and rummage around for food and other *valuables*. The latter leave a mess (as per attached). Is there any way to force the owners to enclose or secure the dumpster so that only tenants have access to it? Management (Parker Rentals) do not seem to care.

I submitted a uReport on 6/16 asking that our trash be picked up with this week (week of 6/17) since our house was skipped last week (the week of 6/10). uReport #188966. I received an email at 6:51am on 6/17 requesting I put my trash out and that a truck was being sent. I did put my trash out, but it was not picked up. I assume I didn't get it out fast enough. This issue was listed as "resolved" and was closed by the City. The issue was not resolved and shouldn't have been closed.
Again, I am asking someone to confirm that our house will not be skipped again this week. Trash pick up is Wednesdays for this neighborhood. Can someone confirm that our house won't be skipped again? Thank you.

Garbage was picked up today but they only emptied the bins and left the ripped-open bags that were lying on the ground. Tenants have now moved out.

Our trash was not picked up the week of June 10. The rest of the neighborhood had their trash collected. I want to confirm that they won't skip our house again this week (week of June 17).

Refer to cases #186916, #188213, and #188214. Someone ended up putting a rubber stopper in the hole at the base of the dumpster, which temporarily prevented the rats from entering it. However, rubber is a delicacy for rats (which it seems garbage-oriented people should well know) and it was soon devoured. Now the problem is back full-force, with rats running in and out of the dumpster and scurrying around the parking lot. The drain-hole is threaded on the inside, implying that the manufacturer of the dumpster had in mind (and likely supplies) a metal screw-type insert that will be rat-proof. Please ask the company to install the correct type of fitting so that this problem is permanently fixed.
