Trash dumped everywhere. Seagulls can only eat so much. I will start bring more garbage bags.

Since the desk has not been removed in weeks, there is now a chair dumped there.

A felon and white supremacist named Christopher Pappano is dumping trash on the bike trail on Manhattan Drive and the 127 Bike Trail. His truck is pictured here, he routinely unloads all sorts of garbage at the top of the hill. He lives at 237 Elmwood Ave.

Would it be possible to get a big belly trash can and recycle bins placed near this intersection? With 4 takeout businesses here there is a lot of trash in and around intersection.

Casella is picking up trash at the residential Ruggles House every Friday morning at 5:35am. Isn't this before trash trucks are legally allowed to operate in Burlington's residential neighborhoods? What does the ordinance allow? Anytime after 6:30 am ? I called Casella about this a couple weeks ago but they still arrive too early. Their trash trucks are too loud to be operating that early - people are still trying to sleep. They drive around the horseshoe street - from south to north - passing about 70 houses - and when they reach the north side, they go in reverse up the Ruggles driveway with their beep beep reverse alarm sounding. If they don't comply with city regs then they shouldn't be awarded a contract when consolidation happens. Be sure the contract contains a clause for steep penalties for non-compliance with city regs, including speeding and start times for pick up. Thanks!
