There is nowhere to put the bins for some of us except pathways leading to our rowhouses, which are shared by other rowhouses, and they can't be blocked off. We are being repeatedly fined for this and when we fight it and demand that DPW tells us where to put all the new bins, they drop the fines but don't give an explanation for what should be done with them. Anyway, if the rats didn't come all summer, they aren't going to come now.

NOWHERE ELSE TO PUT THE BINS!!!!

I agree this is an issue but DPW needs to figure it out. This is a constant hazard to accessing the alley and while you may not have noticed rodents during the summer some of us certainly did on 6th Street.

Yes, DPW needs to figure it out. But until then, I guess it's fine for the rest of us on Florida to continuously have to deal with the city's bureaucratic BS by filing contests against repeated fines? BTW, if we put them in our shared pathway, the rats are still going to be in the 6th St. alley, so that solves nothing.

According to DPW the bins are to be kept on the property until trash day and then placed back on the property so putting them in the shared pathway has never been an option according to DPW. This has only become an issue really since the new bins were distributed. Not only are they being left in the alley but on the sidewalks as well, so yes, something needs to give.

I guess that's understandable. Doesn't seem like everyone has yard space to keep them though. Is everyone on the 600 block of Florida just getting repeatedly fined and not doing anything about it? This seems to have been going on for quite some time now.

For the most part everyone on 6th Street are putting the bins out on trash day and keeping them on their property (some have backyards, some under their steps in the front). One or two may be in the alley so they are probably being fined as well.

I respectfully disagree on that point. The south side of the alley wall is lined every night of the week.

True and again, this just started and should not be allowed either.
