Subject: Notice and constructive feedback regarding trash collection at the stated address I am writing to report a recent sanitation issue and to constructively suggest a structural change to prevent future occurrences. On 6/17/2026, responsible parties at the stated address did not follow collection guidelines and piled extra bags on top of their full bins. During pickup, the collection crew left one of these excess bags on the ground. Because the bag remained on the curb overnight, local wildlife tore it open. This scattered rotting food waste is now creating a possible health hazard and a severe mess for the neighborhood. Additionally, bins on the street remain at the curb more than 24 hours after collection. To ensure our neighborhood stays clean and safe, I would like to suggest two updates to current practices: * Enforce a strict "Tag and Leave" policy: Instead of leaving a loose bag on the ground where animals can access it, crews could leave the bag inside the bin with an educational warning tag. * Issue reminders for bin removal: Send a neighborhood-wide notice regarding the local ordinance that requires bins to be stored away within 24 hours of collection. *Have a means to take the extra bags and charge extra for the service. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
There is trash in the driveway and random chairs along the end of the driveway toward the road and a pile of empty cardboard boxes by the road next to the mailbox. The recycling and trash bins are overflowing. It’s a mess. Can you please talk with them about the expectations and rules of keeping things clean. They are student renters and they may not be aware or understand how these things affect a neighborhood. Thank you.
Although my trash can was in place for pickup this morning, it was not emptied.
Neighbor garbage cans are permanently in the roadside. Please notice that they have 2 garbage cans. I had previously received a notice of violation because people think that one of those garbage cans is mine. NONE OF THOSE ARE MINE. THEY ARE FROM 1611 S TROY CT. Thank you.
Trash on my street, S Browning Pl, has not been picked up so far today. Should I leave it out, if it is going to be picked up later today or tomorrow, or should I bring it in if it will be picked up next week?
There are a ton of shoes hanging from the electric wire over the N-S alley that is parallel to and between Fess and Park, between Cottage Grove and 11th Street. It looks like a relatively new utility pole and the wires are hanging way down due to the weight of the shoes.
