Description

Every Wed evening between about 5-7pm and Thurs mornings between 6-7am there is a older hispanic lady stealing the recycleables placed out for collection, sometimes carrying 2 large black trash bags full! This has been observed happening in Spring Alley, S 4th Ave & Walnut St (going towards S 5th Ave). Most recently this person was observed tresspassing onto the side of a house to take the aluminum cans. This is scavenging & stealing!! It other cities across the U.S. it is subject to fines of up to $1,000. Once recycleables are placed at the curb, they are the property of the recycleable company. This has been going on since early Spring and police notified at least 2 times. This is the kind of stuff that drives everyones trash bill up because the City is losing money on recycleables.
