    Someone dumped furniture in the tree belt on St Jerome Avenue between St Jerome and Forestdale Cemeteries This is a regular dumping spot
  • 179 Sargeant Street Holyoke, MA, 01040, USA - Holyoke
    The property is littered with trash. The house looks like there may be a potential hoarding issue as well. The garage is also missing panels allowing wildlife to enter easily. I hope some mental health support can be made available for the residents in addition to cleaning up the property. This has been an ongoing issue and it seems like cleanups are just a temporary fix.

    Subject: Complaint about Waste Management Services in Elmwood Neighborhood

    Dear Holyoke Department of Public Works,

    I am a resident of the Elmwood neighborhood, near Laurel Park, and I am writing to express my concerns about the waste management services in our area.

    Firstly, the driving behavior of the waste management trucks is excessively aggressive, creating an unsafe environment for pedestrians and other drivers. The speed and manner in which these trucks are driven are not suitable for residential areas.

    Secondly, the handling of the bins after they have been emptied is causing several issues. Instead of placing the bins back where they were, they are being thrown towards the curb. This often results in the bins blocking the road and creating traffic hazards. Additionally, the bins are often left upside-down, causing any remaining liquid to drain into the street. This not only attracts unwanted wildlife but also leaves a rancid smell in the neighborhood for several days.

    These issues are affecting the quality of life in our neighborhood and we would appreciate your attention to this matter. We understand that waste management is a challenging job, but we believe that these issues can be addressed with proper training and oversight.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to seeing improvements in the waste management services in our neighborhood.

    Sincerely,
    Ian Manley
