    Hello, the recycling has not been picked up on our street for weeks. I realize it’s every other week, but it has not been picked up since the big snowstorm.

    My name is Mike Reneau. I and my wife and 2 kids live at 91 Watertown Street. Our condo neighbors live in the adjoining unit (#93) with their family of 3.

    As I was in my driveway this morning, I just watched the recycling truck pick up my neighbors recycling. Then stop right in front of my house for 15 seconds blocking my driveway. And then drive away without picking up our 2 bins.

    Both of our bins are full. We had them on the street because the ice bank blocking the sidewalk would've prevented access. They were neatly arranged with our trash bins.

    What can be done about this?

    Sincerely,
    Mike Reneau

    I put my Christmas tree on the street for pick up well before the final pick up date and nobody ever came to get it. Then the first snow storm happened and it has been covered in snow till now. This is my 2nd request to have someone come and dispose of it. Thank you.

  • 190 Mount Auburn St Watertown, Massachusetts, 02472 - Watertown
    Dangerous condition: A shopping cart has been abandoned and is blocking the only fire hydrant in the area where the snow has been partially removed. I'm sure not only abutting property owners but also first responders would appreciate prompt response to this illegal dumping.

    Someone keeps leaving large recycling or bulk trash items on the public sidewalk in front of my house. It’s unsightly and blocks the walkway.

    I already reported this issue once before, and the police made a report at that time. This is now the second occurrence. Could you please look into it again or increase monitoring in this area?

    Thank you for your help
