Recycle trash can blocking on sidewalk
Recycle trash can blocking on sidewalk
A mattress and some other stuff are blocking half the sidewalk
There's a mattress that either fell off a vehicle or from a homeless camp that needs to be removed. It's right off the sidewalk.
This morning, sanitation services left the contents of the shared recycling bin of the duplex for addresses 718, 720, and 722 W Kirkwood Ave. all over the curb. I understand that my duplex neighbors before have placed items in the recycling bin that are not recyclable, and I try to remove those as I see them, but dumping what is essentially all of the contents on the sidewalk for me to have to pick up is ridiculous. My neighbors are lazy and will not clean it up themselves, so until I return home from work today, all of that recycling is just going to sit and rot on the sidewalk. Also, no notice was left, so even if they were to go out and see what happened, they would have no clue as to why these things weren't collected. I understand the frustration of people putting legit trash in the recycling bin, it frustrates me too, but there's a level of passive aggression here that is quite unwarranted and is instead resulting in littering by your employees and a genuine inconvenience from me that I can't address in a timely manner, since most people getting into their car for their morning commute don't expect to see their recycling bin dumped on the sidewalk, waiting for them.
600 N. Morton on the corner of the parking lot for city vehicles, there is an abandoned couch just right off the sidewalk. Where the marker is placed according to my screen is precisely where the couch is located.
Massive piles of trash are blocking the sidewalk as of 8:45pm on Wednesday May 10. Piles are in front of 424 E. 6th Street and 426 E. 6th Street. Hopefully it is trash night and it won't be there in the morning.
