This trash issue is overwhelming and it appears to be a problem for many of us here in downtown areas. Is there something we can do, other than just reporting it all the time?
The JCIA says that when they receive a report they send an inspector to look for addresses on discarded mail that is in the trash. The HCA has suggested several times to JCIA that more need to be done to educate and enforce proper handling of trash and recycling. The HPNA and HCA are once again asking for signs to be placed on the cans that educate about proper use and the violation for using them improperly. So far we've either been met with disinterest or silence on the issue. I suggest, as your position as a committee person, to lobby Oren Dabney and Steven Fulop to get the sign initiative off the ground-- at the very least. More frequent weekday and weekend collection is also desired.
All of the incidents I reported this morning have also been reported to the JCIA and will hopefully result in an inspector being dispatched.
The JCIA has indicated that they are going to put signs on public trash cans to educate the public as to their proper usage and penalties for violation. I am changing the status to "open" until that happens.
