This is extremely typical in poor neighborhoods across New Haven. Is there a solution to this that doesn't always include the city picking up the stuff?
@Mahfouz, years ago when the city had multiple free bulk trash pickups, we didn't have the problem we had now with the illegal dumping. The city had several scheduled bulk pickups per year and did a good job in letting everyone know when they were so folks knew when to put their stuff out. When that was done, people would drive around to different neighborhoods and go through the piles and take what they needed and leave the rest. I remember doing this on my own street in the past, and finding some good things because one man's trash is another man's treasure.
It was a way to get rid of unwanted or no longer needed items, and help your fellow neighbor, as well as DPW because by the next day when the trucks came around, the piles were significantly smaller in some cases because people went through them and took what they wanted. Ever since the $50 fee was instituted, that became a barrier for a lot of people and led to the situation we have now.
Items picked up. Issue closed. If you need to report another issue please submit to See Click Fix or call Department of Public Works at (203) 946 - 7700. Thanks.
Nadine: Didn't the city eliminate the $50 fee for bulk pick up? I still think it would be better if they had a few bulk pickup days each year for each neighborhood as they did in the past.
Paula, they just recently instituted one free bulk trash pickup per year, and yes I completely agree that it would be much better if they went back to the multiple pickups.
