Refuse partially blocking sidewalk.
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.
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.
trash has been on sidewalk for over two weeks now, called last week as well, no action being taken
2nsd complaint for property, different source, wanted to register complaint that he has been cited by parking enforcement for briefly having vehicle on street during summer at low traffic and being aggresively policed, whereas the trash issue goes on for two to three weeks without any response. Selective policing
Recycling was picked up as normal this morning, but trash can was not picked up. There was no note on it, and I don’t think we did anything out of guideline.
Trash can has been left out front of house for 2-3 weeks. Elkins has been notified over a week ago.
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)
