Trash scattered all around out back (by the alley).
Trash scattered all around out back (by the alley).
See case #188527. Garbage still piled up against house. Tenants do not seem to care about warnings or small fines. Can the fines be associated with their water bill so that it gets turned off if they do not pay?
People who are unhoused are leaving their belongings / lots of trash in the alley of our office building. Customers/clients/pedestrians use this alley often.
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.
Trash was not fully picked up. Collectors reached into can & took one bag, leaving 2 other bags.

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).
