Description
Spilled paint from city garbage truck has been stuck to the street on Shoals Point Trail for over a year now. I reported this when it happened over a year ago and the only resolution that was offered from Huntsville Sanitation was "We have spoken with our driver's to inform them to not pick up cans that have paint in them, to prevent this from happening again." Well, the drivers still don't check the cans before emptying them. This was just the city's way out of having to remove it. I hoped that as time passed it would wear away but it has not. It looks terrible. The city needs to come out and pressure wash all this mess off the street. If nothing is done this time, I will contact 'WHNT investigates' because we have been having to look at this mess for over a year and it was reported in October 2017 and nothing was ever done.

Thank you for reaching out to us. Public Works is not equipped to remove the paint from the roadway, but an inspector was sent to check the area to ensure the safety of our constituents and to make sure no damage would be done to vehicles.
It is the responsibility of the homeowner to properly place out garbage without hazardous waste (Ord. no. 22-40). We look forward to working and assisting you with any future service related issues.
Thank you,
Your Huntsville Connect Customer Service Team
