already been stickered by BB as it was not recycling week last Friday. Trash was taken by Sanitation in yellow bags only

Stickers tell the story for resident to deal with this pile correctly until next Friday's recycling pickup BB

Thank you. This issue has been assigned to our sanitation department.

So, we have to look at it all week?
Isn’t there is finable ordinance that states trash receptacles can only be left out 12 hours before/after pickup?

Ordinance states not before 7pm the night before. I have written an ordinance which was submitted at the last council meeting to have them off the street by the following day. Currently we do not have an ordinance that says they have to be taken back in.

A notice has been sent to remove from tree belt by Oct. 1st. The owner was cited under the State Sanitary Code 410.602 Maintenance of land

§ 169-10
Storage in tree belts.
There shall be no storage of garbage, rubbish or refuse or recyclables of any kind on any tree belt, curb or public property except when contained with an approved standard legal container or overflow bag as defined above. Furthermore, those standard legal containers and overflow bags shall comply with the following:
A.
Approved garbage/rubbish/refuse/recyclable containers may only be put out for collection no earlier than 12 hours prior to the scheduled collection day.
B.
Approved garbage/rubbish/refuse/recyclable containers must be put out for collection no later than 7:00 a.m. on the scheduled collection day.
C.
Approved garbage/rubbish/refuse/recyclable containers must be placed on public property in a location accessible by City collection vehicles.
D.
Emptied garbage/rubbish/refuse/recyclable containers must be removed from public property on the same day of collection.

Nothing has been touched as of yet, so I’ll be curious to see how this plays out. In the meantime, I’ll continue to clean up assorted debris that blows into my yard.

BB observed all picked up Friday

Thank you for using Chicopee Connect. Your issue has been corrected.

Great to hear. I didn’t think they would take everything seeing that receptacles were overflowing/lids were open. That’s good to know. Now, if the rest of the trash on the top of the driveway will disappear...

Have a great weekend!
