Residents say Midtown alley garbage bin situation ‘out of control’
“Disgusting headaches” are how some Midtown residents describe the alleyway garbage bins in their neighbourhood.
Packed in Monday’s city council agenda were numerous photos of overflowing, burning or knocked over bins. Some resident letters called the bins a “real problem” plaguing their streets.
“There is no accountability to clean this mess up,” one resident said.
Letters in the agenda read how residents have reached out countless times requesting help or rollout bins. Residents present at Monday’s meeting said the issue is not centred around bin size, per say, but rather a need to hold the problem people to account.
