[Lincolnparkdc] lincolnparkdc Digest, Vol 8, Issue 15

[Elizabeth Teferra]

Still begs the question about why should this neighbor have to put up with the garbage and broken yard waste and Christmas trees in march and April when he walks outside his door. The variables are different now that that house is owned and occupied by an owner. Think about it. And mr Wotecki I do know what I speak of. I walk past that corner and I see how people pile their trash cans high to over the top. Don’t make it seem like I am making this up. Usually there is every type of trash, bottles, junk and on and on. John do u walk past there?tom do u walk past there?  I doubt it. Also the 13th st collection is about 1/4 the size of this one in question. Do not insult me just because you have a problem with a point of view other than yours. If u have seen it, keep trashing it. If you have not seen it on a weekly basis then don’t present that which you r not aware of. Those folks who do come out and get their receptacles have seen it first hand if they had a desire to speak up. I would like to have anyone who uses this for their trash volunteer to have it in front of their house. Put it at the other end. Then u will hear the nimby loud and clear. So I don’t use it but I think everyone should look out for everyone especially when new owners come here. Apparently they thought it was legal. It is not. So imho, everyone who uses that space and wants to pretend like it is this pristine tidy collection area, you know better. Those who never go out there know not of what they speak.

Let the people at 158 decide. It is their public space responsibility. If they find your garbage an eyesore just like u find your empty cans an eyesore near your houses, then there is some double standard here. Go put the cans down on other end of alley and take them out there. Its an option. Ask your neighbors there if they want it.

When I began in this nightmare because of the removal of a public trash and it being removed, one of the neighbors indicated”no, not here, we have enough going on”. Hmmmm ?

I simply wanted 3 things less litter, no poop bags in your trashcans, and none thrown in tree boxes. Not sinister as some would have it and vilify me. You all figure it out. But be fair to others. If possible.

Apologies, the alley fence protective sub wall was installed at 150 12th St SE.

As the next door neighbor (152), my alley fence benefits from this barrier.

DPW has small trucks that fit in the alley. One came through when the did a full alley clean up last year. They choose not to use them here for trash pickup.

As for alley fence “scrapes” by DPW trucks, the original (?) owners of 1210 Independence took off a corner their garage after repeated damage. The subsequent owner installed a steel corner post to protect the building. Previous owners of 160 12th got tired of having their fence damaged and installed a 6x6 wooden beam protective sub wall to protect the main fence. It’s a chronic problem when large trucks driven by those unaware of its limited size try to exit the alley. I know because I often guide them out.

Finally, my major whine to add to the discussion about trash pickup is the inconsiderate depositing of trash in the alley by Air B&Bs; namely 1218 Independence. Last week I witnessed a young manager(?) pull into the alley in his Porsche and then take numerous large bags of unsorted trash from 1218 and filled four green cans in the alley. When I confronted him to confirm that the trash was from 1218, I told him that the the city does not pick up and that we are responsible for our trash deposit.

He promised me that he’d be back Sunday to bring it to the pickup point. Yes, he was a no show and I brought the cans out early Monday AM with petty thoughts of putting it on the front yard of 1218. When it’s not the current manager, their cleaning crew do the same, as they’re no doubt instructed. Similarly another Air B&B at 130 12th St maintains bags of trash in its alley carport with no effort to dispose of them. Compared to the chronic behavior of these property managers I welcome the occasional ignorance of our residents.

Enough of my whine. Now for my wine!

 I remember none of this being a problem when we all had trash pickup in the alley (yes it used to be so) but then the trucks got bigger, some neighbors didn’t like them scraping their fences, and so made it impossible for trucks to ever go back there by constructing a concrete block wall to protect their fence. Now I drag mine out the back to a collection point on 12th and I try really hard to make sure I get it out and back so the alley neighbors don’t have to deal with it. But on trash day in the city, it’s unsightly and smelly, and some neighbors are less considerate so others may have to step up.

I’ll also make a point to get my family back on their loose trash pickup duty when walking the dogs, and maybe others can do the same. When we all chip in the street won’t look any worse for it.

In my opinion, having green and blue bins out in front of your house the six days there isn’t collection is not very attractive. The only practical alternative is keep the bins in the rear and roll it to the collection point at the appropriate time
