Description
Repeated dumping by house on southwest corner of Ellsworth. Couch was taken but people keep emptying the contents of their house onto a community maintained trash can.

We have a similar issue on 8th and Federal. We maintain a trashcan on the corner, but we chained down a lid with a small hole so that only small items can fit in the trashcan. However, the neighbors at 1154 and 1152 S. 8th, we believe, keep placing small bags of garbage (usually fish guts or some other food scrap) next to the trashcan. It's ongoing. It seems a common practice that neighbors use the publicly maintained trashcans as private trashcans.

Yeah someone has cut the lock four times on the Ellsworth trash can lid, so we discontinued buying new locks. Guess broken locks are worth a lot as scrap.

Looks like some good samaritan bagged up other people's mess. Thank you whoever you are!

I just repaired ours tonight. They got the lid off to toss some of their fish gut garbage bags in the can....
