bid dumpsters needed for this area, will this work??? still people don't know that garbage is to go in the bins (if they even know how to open them)

City needs some teeth in their bark , Big Bark no results.
If a person drops Garbage in Blue Bin ...make him pay for the Garbage Truck who needs to come out to empty it , if Garbage cans are so full that the overflow on Bark , again a Fine is needed if not picked up after warning , next step City will come clean it up , send Bill to Owner of property.
Enough talk ...lets keep the City clean ...not just the West side , Eastside...flat or Hill ...it is our City lets clean up ...we are Humans...not Pigs...

every last week of the month there is furniture and garbage piled all over our bsck alley. the cats and birds get into it, its horrible to look at because the landlords dont care who they put in there properties. I live in midtown (where we are the only ones in pa who still have the big bins in the alley) and it sucks!! it just makes a bigger mess!! come on city of pa, send bylaw around to ticket these properties!! its winter time....not too hard to figure out who put the stuff there...

it also sucks because when these renters decide to move out and or trash the place we cant throw anything out for a week or 2 cause the garbage bins are full of broken furniture and crap they busted out of the place they were renting

serious problem that I have lobbied with city hall for years but nothing happens.....as long as it isnt happening in their backyard no worries....

get bylaw out there and enforce!!!!

I live on the East Hill. We have back ally pick-up and the bins are shared by many households. Both the recycle bin and garbage are always filled and overflowing LONG before pickup day. Alot of garbage/papers end up on the ground. I have also seen many two legged scavengers digging through the bins!

Same problem in midtown. Either garbage bins are overflowing, or garbage is piled around the bins, even if they've been emptied. When people don't care, what can we do?

I agree with Rusty. I too live on the East Hill. It's hard to pinpoint who is doing it when you have to share with many homes. I don't mind the "big bins" but come on people...really?
