Sometime Friday night someone dumped five or six bags of trash on an already existing pile of trash and abandoned tires. A neighbor of mine and I have been making calls about the tires for two weeks, and instead of them being picked up it's just be added to. This pile spilled into the street this morning and just gets run over by passing cars. If this happened in Center City, it wouldn't have made it to Saturday. But because I'm on Linmore Ave. (does anyone in the Sanitation or Streets Department even know where that is?) my neighbors and I - and our children, who’s play-area is the area dumped on - are stuck with an ever-growing pile of trash.
This happens everywhere in Philly, but it seems like Center City is always and only under the trash-issue spotlight. I ask: who's helping the neighborhoods?
