Public Works Dispatch assigned this issue to Assistant Commissioner Operations

Day 6 and the trash is still out, no visit from the dpw yet. Maybe if they wait until tomorrow then they won't have to come because it will be trash day.

Trash day and nothing from the city. You win DPW.

I have been following this thread throughout the week and I want to apologize to all involved regarding this nuisance. I have been in touch with our Code Enforcement Division here in the city. They are aware of the issue. As of now, the property owner (not the resident) has been notified of the violation of leaving trash on the curb for an excessive period of time. Today, obviously is trash day. IF the barrels are not removed after today or if this becomes a recurring issue, please contact Code Enforcement directly (508-460-3765). They did receive Karl's complaint the other day and have acted accordingly. Now that the owner of the property has received his violation initial notice, any further violations WILL result in a fine being issued by the City. Again, I apologize on behalf of the City of Marlborough that you have had to deal with this issue. Please know that we are working within the powers that we have to rectify it for you. I am going to close this issue for now. Please feel free to reopen the existing issue or to begin a new one if the problem persists. We are not ignoring it. I am putting faith in the owner of the property to do the right thing after receiving our notice. - DPW 508-624-6910

Thank you very much for the update and your help with this issue. Hopefully this will resolve things.
