That is quite the overflowing dumpster.
I am curious to know what DPW employees do when they see these dumpsters and other trash problems in Holyoke. Do they report them or otherwise take action to FIX the problem? Or do they ignore them? I see DPW pickup trucks driving around constantly. No doubt they are busy but it would only take a few seconds to report these issues to the Board of Health or other relevant city department.

...Lots of powers available under the the clean and safe streets acts of 2012...

DPW Commissioner Fuqua was actively involved in the making of those acts. It is unclear to me why we continue to struggle to deal effectively with the most basic trash issues in the City of Holyoke.

Your issue has been reported to the Code Enforcement Officers. An update will follow shortly.

Mayor's Office Admin.no assigned this issue to Board of Health

Thank you Mayor;s office and BOH. What is the best way to report other such issues? Is there a contact person at the BOH we should use?

Hi Josh, if there's a quality of life trash concern, it's always best to notify anyone at the Board of Health - they work with Officer Jones at the HPD on code enforcement. Their number is 322-5595. But you can still post here and we'll relay the message!

Thank you for your concerns. This complaint has been logged and assigned an inspector. An inspection will follow.

dumpster companies come when the owners pay their bills....who is the owner of this property?
Is that the Holyoke Housing building in the picture.....not sure....who owns the property....? You have to go to the property owner....what's the history of the owner.....we the city need to hold them accountable...
who's in charge here??
