Description

I volunteer with the Florida Dream Center in Lealman with the Adopt-A-Block Group. We clean alleys and Saturday we encountered one that exceeds our ability to complete. It is located behind 5504/5505 33rd St. N. . The alley was cleared of debris as far as 6 middle-aged men could do, enough to fill a 30 yard dumpster. We found about 15 tires, two 55 gallon plastic drums with some liquid in them, broken TV's, shopping carts, concrete, and logs too large for us to move. It was apparent that this alley has been used as a dumping ground for many years. Heavy machinery and a Hazmat Team will be required to solve this problem. An Inspector should be dispatched to survey this entire alley and make arrangements to have it cleaned.
