In the Downtown District, trash pick-up occurs three days per week, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The containers are supposed to be at the curb after 5 pm the night before a pick-up day, and stored by noon on a pick-up day.

Today a Community Standard's Officer will inspect the site.

Thank you so much for acknowledging the problem and sending someone out. I am a local small business owner, of The Getup Vintage at 215 S State. i've tried talking to the managers of each of these businesses (State Theater, Chipoltle, and Urban Outfitters) - each say they'll change, but the reality is, the bins are left out pretty much 24/7. It REALLY hurts my business when people have to walk by literal trash piles to get to me. This is one of the main intersections of Ann Arbor and it's just turned into a heaping trash mound, which invites vagrants and homeless and more trash... it really is a huge issue when my rent is sky high.

As I am replying to you, it's 7:30 PM on a Wednesday - so bins are supposed to be stored right now, right? There are currently 17 BINS on the curb!!! SEVETEEN!!! I did see your Community Standards officer walk by earlier. I would love if someone could contact me to discuss this further - my email address is thegetupvintage@gmail.com (my name is Kaylan Mitchell). Thank you so much for replying, hope you have a great night!

On 3/20/2019, a Community Standard's Officer spoke with the manager of Chipotle and spent time discussing the code requirements for cart storage. At the time of his inspection, the only carts at the curb belonged to this establishment.

Okay thank you. Good to know! I will continue to monitor the situation. :-)

New information was received with regard to pick-up frequency. This location has pick-up 5 days per week! More investigation will take place to find a resolution to the cart storage.

It would be nice if you could resolve this issue, like you said you were going to do. 3 1/2 years later, the issue is still ongoing.

Your request has been acknowledged and/or addressed to the best of staff's ability. A more detailed description of action taken by staff, if available, is provided in the comments above. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
