Trash again all over the sidewalk.

Third week in a row. The city should be providing each apartment with two bins like the rest of us but they don’t even have one for each.

Trash all over the ground, and they missed trash day again so this will get much worse. Is anyone going to bother to do something?

Still very short on trash bins. It shouldn’t take weeks for the city to drop more off and fix this problem.

Several months have gone by. They replaced their pavement and fence but never addressed the trash problem. Does the city still use this system? Sad no one bothers to do anything when there is a simple solution.

I picked up a giant dead rat today. And the trash all over the ground is as bad as ever. No response from the city since I reported this 6 months ago!!

I have to pick up yet another dead rat in four days. And halfway through the week the trash is again overflowing. Fix the problem at the source, not with poison.

After years the city never did a thing about this. It was ultimately easier for me to sell my house and move out of town. Good luck with the rats.
