Solid Waste Management

Angry about trash service and broken bins, demanding accountability.

Ms. Starbuck from Glenshire Community Association reported that her neighborhood has not received heavy trash pickup since November and expressed concerns about renters not adhering to neighborhood guidelines. She also asked about the process for handling trash in condominium common areas and the possibility of red tags for violations.

This resident suggested that a city agency should be able to write citations for violations, similar to how law enforcement operates, to improve enforcement.

This resident asked if new inspectors hired by the city would be assigned to specific communities to better identify repeat offenders.

Ms. Bell from Windsor Village Civic Club shared their neighborhood's successful method of using yellow "do's and don'ts" papers to warn residents about violations before issuing city citations, suggesting this approach could be adopted more widely.

This resident asked about the timeline for implementing a more structured program for heavy trash collection.

Ms. Allen, president of Heather Crest Post Oak Village, expressed frustration with the lack of enforcement regarding illegal dumping and trash violations, despite repeated reports to 311. She highlighted a specific property that resembled a landfill and stressed the need for city enforcement.
