This has been reported several times before. It looks like the trash is in the City ROW. How long do we have to drive by this landfill or should we take it as an invitation to dump our trash there also. Lets treat every the same. If they don’t have to pay for trash service why should the rest of us.
It seems someone threw a mattress in my yard and I don't have a way to get rid of it. Can the city pick this up? 1200 E Hillside Dr thank you.
Similar to case #212602. Green Acres on Fifth St, between Roosevelt and Jefferson, several addresses have trash bins in ROW, trash on tthe ground, or large items.
We were charged over $300 under sanitation for "Large Item Pick up", however, were not responsible for any items that were allegedly picked up. I have tried to get in contact with the sanitation department for the past month with no avail. I would like to get this issue resolved so I am not responsible for the charges or the late fees that could potentially accrue. Please contact me via email as that is my preferred method of communication.
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.
trash bag opened up. all over. near Bline
Area behind dumpster is full of trash. This backs up to neighborhood Edward’s Row street. Granite properties manage this location.
There is a row of storage units immediately to the south of my apartment at Brandon Ct. There is a space between the units and a fence that is supposed to be maintained by Henderson Court. As you can see by the photo (I can provide more), it appears that unhoused people use it as a place to sleep. The area is strewn with trash, and mattress/foundation, and I would suspect that drug activity is or has occurred in the space. Furthermore, several packages have been stolen off of my stoop by occupants of this space. Clearly, this poses a health and safety hazard. I ask that the City investigate the area and assess fines and other sanctions against Granite, the listed property owners or managers. In addition to clean up and possible environmental remediation, I want the area secured in such a fashion that in the future no unhoused people can reoccupy the space. The Department may also need to contact Henderson Court for erection of a fence that denies access for the length of the fence that serves as the property line between Henderson Court and Brandon Court. I would like the City
Although my trash can was in place for pickup this morning, it was not emptied.
