Response from City Manager:
Thanks for sharing and my truly humble apologies. We will take care of it and do our best to ensure it doesn’t happen especially out of season.
Response from City General Manager, Public Services:
The container shown is being maintained by the adject vendor. Please note the clear plastic garbage bag. The solid waste staff use a dark plastic garbage bag. However, the solid waste staff working to collect other receptacles within St. Armand’s Circle area do monitor those containers to collect/cleanup if these types of issues arise, but we don’t have staff working St. Armand’s Circle in the evenings. Lastly, we don’t know if the actual container was completely filled. With public receptacles, staff has noticed that one large garbage item (i.e. pizza box) not properly placed into the receptacle can look like the container is filled thus for some reason the public keep throwing trash on top of it. This is unfortunate since there is always another receptacle within walking distance (estimate about 10-20 meters between receptacles) along the sidewalks adjacent to businesses in the circle. As of this morning, this receptacle was not an issue, nor did it need assistance by our solid waste staff to collect/cleanup.
Response from City Code Compliance Manager:
We will do our best to keep our eyes on this area to make sure it remains tidy.
