    Preston is not able to attend due to the time of day, he manages the complaints

    Call the customer service number and file a complaint, this is what happened on Hiawatha (948 Hiawatha was complained), and now has to address the whole block

    Issues with moving this to alleys (ie: Hiawatha St)

     

    >>> From Preston:

    In early January, the city received a complaint of a garbage cart being left on the street after collection.  My job as an inspector is to notify the customer that carts must be removed within 24 hours of a collection.   When arriving on Hiawatha St. I noticed there were multiple cart left on the side walk.  Attempting to resolve the issue I thought having an alley collection would be one of the better solutions, taking into consideration of customer attempting to transport 90g recycling carts up and down many steps.  I have met with the contractor several times about moving collections to the alley.  The contractor has approved the alley to be serviceable for collections.  I would also like to reiterate, the truck that will service the ally are, limited access vehicles (LAV trucks).  They are not nearly as big as the trucks you see servicing the street collections.  I left door tags with my name and phone number, notifying the customers of the potential relocation of their solid waste collection.  Again, I am open to hearing the concerns of the residents and open to exploring options within the guidelines I am bound by.  The overall objective is to have the carts removed from city right of way after collection.
