Send an online request to have it taken care of through the customer service form and if that doesn't work enail your councilor.

I see an area like this at the top of Vernon that looks very bad with trash everywhere. The residents just dumped the trash on the sidewalk haphazardly, DPW picks up what they can and the rest literally just sits there, at the end of the month it accumulates to the point where the sidewalk is blocked with trash and the wind blows a lot of it everywhere.

Once a month I go on the customer service form online and submit a request to have it taken care of. Sometimes it works sometimes they ignore it and then I email my councilor who takes care of it within a couple of days.

the landlords should be fined for that shit. your tenants, your problem. my taxes should not subsidize picking up after trashy tenants of slumlords.

I fully agree which is why I take to emailing my city councilor every few weeks, if other people did it too I'm sure they would get sick and tired of hearing about it and would actually move to do something.

The funny thing is that if I look up the address on Google maps, even the footage they have shows the house with trash in front of it.
