[Chat] recycling

[Jonathan Wetmiller]

I agree.  I think the city employees do a great job considering the mess that some residents leave for them.  
 
A much bigger problem is people not securing their recycling properly and/or putting it out too early.  I was walking by an alley behind Calvert St. yesterday evening as a strong wind gust sent most of the contents of someone's bin airborne.

I have the opposite reaction to recycling on my alley.......the sanitation guys are nice, friendly and do a good job.   In the early days they sometimes crushed the materials and left broken glass in piles in the alley.  I mentioned it to the City person in charge and it doesn't happen anymore.  True, they don't always put the containers back in exactly the same place they picked them up from......but I think the guys do a good job and the City has been responsive in fixing problems.   In all honesty, if I had to spend my day lifting other people's junk and dumping it in a smelly truck, I think I'd be inclined to drop the containers as soon as I could.

When our illustrious sanitation engineers picked up recycling, I found them to be very disrespectful of other people's property, as in throwing people's recycling containers around. that's how they get broken.

What are you talking about?  I did not see the original message on chat.  Please provide me with the details for the Charles Village Safety and Sanitation Committees to assist with follow up.

We can battle illegal dumping by getting the tag number and make and model of the vehicle we spot doing the dumping, identifying the driver, if possible, calling 911 to make a report, and emailing or calling Matt Bradby at the CVCBD at 410-235-4411 and matt at charlesvillage.org with that information and the location of the incident so that he can follow up with the police to catch the dumper.  Also, we should circulate that information as widely as possible to the residents so that we have more eyes looking for the vehicle and trying to identify the tag number.

Thank you.

Sharon Guida,Chair, CVCA Safety Committee

I saw it with my own eyes.
It was poetry in motion.
With just the flick of his wrist,
empty, recycling, rubber tubs landed in the gutter.


I'm gonna play the "class" card. It wouldn't have happened in Guilford 
or Homeland.
