Town of Swampscott PLUS

Looks like a rat hole underneath the dog waster disposal bin. Saw it the other day and did see the shredded bags. Today shredded bags which makes me think the rats are dragging the bag poop
Into hole to eat.

There are numerous rusty metal pipes at eismens beach that have been there for quite some time. They are a hazard to beachgoers especially children who like to play on the rocks where the metal pipes are. There are more pipes than the one pictured that are sticking out if the sand. I think they should be removed or at least cut as low as possible so that even when the sand and rocks are at their lowest they do not surface. Thank you.

Trash cans at the entrance to Phillips Beach are overflowing on the weekends. Trash piles up on the ground near the trash cans and blows around. Please put out more trash cans and more recycling bins since much of the trash is recyclable beverage containers.

Yesterday I watched someone pull up get out their light blue Bronco and pull out 4 over flow bags and dump them onto our neighbors trash that was awaiting pick up and pull off. This older male has done this several times over the past few weeks. I’m not sure how this is ok, and I’m sure nothing will be done. But isn’t this not ok to be dumping your trash with others on a completely different street ?! Not to mention the amount of over flow bags he tossed and added to our neighbors trash! 4 giant bags of over flow and some other trash items he placed on the ground that the trash didn’t take!

Mattress dumped in empty lot

The trash cans at Linscott Park and on Humphrey St across from Hawthorne by the Sea were overflowing with trash this morning at 10:00am. Makes a very poor impression of the town and attracts rats.

There are rats running up and down Eastman Ave. between the are of 75-90 ish

Porta potty tipped over at Jackson park

Dead animal in street. Could be a cat.

This property is semi vacant. Weeds are growing inside and outside the backyard covering the sidewalk, also back yard waste is abandoned inside and outside the property, I have seen rats running in and out. Do we have a right to expect that this neighbor keeps his property reasonably clean? Is there an ordinance in Swampscott
that enforces laws about blighted properties that cause general deterioration and instability and substantially endanger the health and safety of residents? This is also a fire hazard.

Trash just off the sidewalk between Vantage condo and STop &shop, there is a mattress in the marsh that has been there for more than a year. Who is responsible for the removal, cleanup? This wouldn’t be acceptable on Humphrey street, or Puritan road.
