We can get a trash can there but someone needs to agree to maintain the trash can.

We all have a shared responsibility to keep our city clean. This means making sure the areas of which people occupy and/or own are free and clear from trash, debris, and vegetation overgrowth including at common areas such as adjacent sidewalks, grass strips, rights-of-way to the edge of the surface of the vehicular travel-way of any public street, and one-half of alley.

Holyoke City Ordinances, Section 74-2 (f)(1): Property to be kept clean “All owners of commercial, professional, industrial, multifamily and residential property must maintain said property, and occupants and business tenants must keep the premises they occupy, as well as common areas, including adjacent sidewalks, grass strips, one-half of alley, and rights-of-way to the edge of the surface of the vehicular travelway of any public street, in a clean and litter-free manner. Rubbish, refuse or other litter on any property must be removed by the owner, occupants and/or business tenants.”

Thank you!
I own the property on the corner of Elm and Lyman, and can agree to maintain the trash can if it’s installed. We have no problem with that.

@DPW ADMIN can you coordinate with Rebecca to work out an agreement and get a trash can there?

Hi there!
We haven’t heard anything yet about this yet, I’m not sure if someone has tried to reach out.
Thanks so much!
