We are a group of residents who said "enough" with the illegal dumping and litter on our streets and banded together to pick up trash from our neighborhood, prevent illegal dumping, remove graffiti and keep our community safe. Beautification at its best!

Today's Feast

This bag, that is literally wide open, was just tossed outside into the alley. I left to run an errand and it was there upon my return. Now, if I don't go out there and pick this up, tie it, and put it in our can, it will be spread everywhere by the rats and cats. I've emailed DPW about it but have not heard back as to whether they will send someone to inspect and find out who is behind this. It happens at least twice a week. This is just madness.

Our alley after trash collection on Friday

We have long complained about the way DPW trash collectors spill trash onto the ground, but this week is blog worthy. This is just a mess- and this is after the alley had been cleaned just 5 days earlier.

Granted some of this is from people putting bags of trash out rather than containers, but not all of it. Most of it in the alley itself is from the collectors.

Either way, we need a hand from DPW.
