Description
Near the western exit to our 20th St. Loop here in Stuyvesant Town, an ongoing eyesore & nuisance has been LOADS of garbage (big, black garbage bags mostly, but also misc. crap, misfit garbage, papers, furniture, & as you can see from the photo, MATTRESSES) just left out on the curb 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I'm getting really disgusted with it.
No other 'loop' here in Stuytown has this problem. Only ours. For some reason, the maintenance guys for our loop are able to get away with this, & I am truly TIRED if seeing this garbage in display ALL THE TIME.

Still, the garbage keeps coming... Day in - Day out... Relentless & never ending...
No letup... Ever. They just keep piling it up here - EVERY DAY. Don't know what to do. I've complained, but they do nothing...

Apparently, this issue is just going to go on and on and on - dumping and storing garbage on a sidewalk that USED to be used to WALK on - not STORE GARBAGE on a DAILY BASIS...
I've complained to Dan Garodnik, our councilman, and to Stuyvesant Town management - all to no avail. Some days there are spills. Recently, paint was spilled, and grease, and it all looked just lovely. Grease stains abound on the sidewalk now.
On Mother's Day, I saw people walking their mothers into Stuytown via this 20th St. Loop, and they had to walk right by this mound of garbage. Really so very nice and welcoming.
It's all just disgusting to me. The fact that this USED to be a simple sidewalk, and had now turned into a DAILY, ALL-DAY, DUMPING AREA / STORAGE AREA for GARBAGE.
Disgusting...

The issue finally has gotten better I can report!! After something like "1361 days" (as this site's emails to me tells me...) - BUT - residents seem to have gotten SO USED to garbage having been left out on this sidewalk FOR YEARS NOW, they seem to think it's o.k. to dump garbage here.
Even though MOST OF THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED NOW - whereby the HEAPS OF GARBAGE ARE NO LONGER BEING STORED ON THIS SIDEWALK, at least once, twice, or three times a week, garbage is being left out...
This, of course, has to STOP before I completely close out the issue...
So - I'd say the issue is 90% resolved. They just need to get the garbage from landing there COMPLETELY!

@ Looking Around:
Actually, there has been a LOT of progress - due to (ahem..) my diligence on this matter. Numerous, never-ending calls to Stuy Town management (they're the ones responsible to answer your question..) FINALLY gave way to some actual actions taken. - They chose - and built - an official, bonafide 'Holding area' for the trash that they were dumping on the sidewalk.
I must say, it's gotten to the point where I pretty much no longer see the daily deluge I saw when I first started this SeeClickFix issue - - NOW nearly 5 1/2 years ago!
Lesson here is, I guess, keep complaining (what a pain..), and give it - time.
I'm going to monitor over this summer (2017) and see if it's as nice as I'm saying it is...
