We sometimes have that problem in my neighborhood. If residents properly bag their trash before putting it in the bins, this will not happen. Maybe the city needs to do an occasional "audit" of the bins on the morning of pick-up and ticket people that are putting loose trash in the bins. That's what causes this problem. It's the residents, not the workers.

If this is still happening in your neighborhood, please open a new See Click Fix issue or call us at (203) 946-7700.
