We have also notified our SWS Code Enforcement group, so that the property owner is aware that they cannot leave this out all week.

I understand that schedules are made to be kept but if the animals do get into (and the birds have started) I will have to clean up what ends up in my yard. Seems silly to me not to be proactive on this one.

What if this container is not pushed to the curb on Friday? Will it still be picked up on the regular collection day if it is not at the curb?

I have made note of the location and have asked our crew to go look for it in the front yard if it is not at the curb, but to the extent you or another neighbor could get it to the curb this would make it much easier and quicker for our crews. Please re-open this issue right away if it does not get collected tomorrow.

thanks for the reply from the city on this one.

I guess some folks think the city will fix any and every petty issue. while at the same time forgetting the "help thy neighbor" reasoning.
obviously NO ONE is at that home to push the can to the curb.and the problem isnt going to correct itself. and its not the city responsibility for "houseside collection" anymore, like they used to do in this neighborhood many years back. (boy, that was really nice then!)
this is the time neighbor "A" or "b" can step in , pitch a hand, and burn a few calories while making the area a cleaner and safer place. and all without government interaction.

I commend you CoR for recommending this!
