Missed trash pickup again

Recycling picked up, but no signs of trash trucks. They usually pickup before dawn. Are they expected today or not?

They still have not picked up the recycling in the Pleasant Street neighborhood. Tomorrow marks one week the bins have been waiting. Yesterday's ETA was yesterday and nothing.

The finally picked up the trash, but the recycling is still on the street for the whole neighborhood.

The yard waste still hasn't been picked up. It has been on the sidewalk for a while.

The dead trees across from 112 Pleasant Street belong to 112 Pleasant Street. They are falling n the wind. Done are so far gone, the bark is falling off them. The Longsjo student walk on the sidewalk right there. If a tree drops on a student or passing car, there could be a fatality. This property is bank owned. Please have them come and remove all dead trees.

Today I tripped on the sidewalk in front of my house. The sidewalk is uneven and unsafe. I have tripped a few times, but today I fell hard, and couldn't get up right away. My neighbor saw it happen and came to my aid. I tore up my knees and elbows. I have pavement burns on my arms and legs, and swelling on my arm. I have lived in this house for 24 years and there has never been any maintenance on the sidewalk. A few years back they replaced the sidewalk on school property only. Children have to walk to the school on these. I am quite banged up, and feel like I have been in a car accident. The city really needs to address this issue.

Now that the Longsjo school students have returned, so has their mess. They are dumping their unwanted food, milk and juice into the wooded area right next to my driveway The milk is going to sour and smell bad. Could someone PLEASE speak to the school about a telling the children to be respectful of the neighborhood. My house is the first house they come to when dismissing, and the trash and destruction is more than tiresome. This is just one photo, there is more down there. They dump everything over the fence. Really? Don't leave school with it if you are going to just dump it on the way home. They are throwing trash that gets stuck in the trees as well. We are one week in to returning, and it is happening already. The school needs to be more responsible for the care of the neighborhood it is parked in..

The Christmas trees at 99 and 124 Pleasant Street did not get picked up last week. They were out on time.
