It would be great if people would quit the incessant whining about this. The parks department has been overrun with snow and ice and has been doing a solid job keep paths clear. If the trash pickup gets delayed a few days because of repeated snowfall and other weather issues, just chill.
From FACTUAL perspective, the problem with inconsistent garbage pick-up has been present from July 2013 to present. No snow during the summer months....
The problem is that these garbage cans simply aren't emptied often enough. I, personally, yesterday, poked around in all of them with a stick and saw 99% plastic dog waste bags and a few pizza boxes and a bottle or can or two. These garbage receptacles are often so full that nobody could use them as a dumpster -- no room.Yes, there will occasionally be the neighbor who throws away a bag of something in one of the park cans, but your real concern should be with the people who throw their trash on the ground instead.
As we close these older Trash issues which have lingered in the "Other" category for awhile, we realize some have been addressed, some may still remain and a few others have appeared in a different category. If your trash issue remains, please open a new SCF report under Trash category and we will follow up. Thanks
