You could always take the "Rittenhouse" approach and call the sanitation department. Kyle probably has their number laying around on one of his many tickets.

When I was helping my partner move out of her place at 23rd & Locust we left a pile of trash (in trash bags) on the street. It was Saturday evening and Sunday night is usually when people put out their trash in that hood. Apparently a neighbor was disgusted that we would put the trash out a day early and sure enough a 'friendly' sanitation office promptly showed up (again this was Saturday evening) all geared up to fine us for putting the trash out at the wrong time of the week (again 1 day early). So that is a tried and true method, assuming sanitation officers are willing to cross the bridge into the smarter side of town on a Saturday night.

OR you could take the Mr. Rogers approach and inform these obviously ignorant neighbors about the law and perhaps direct them to UCD which it seems to me regularly organizes trash pickups for this type of trash.

Good luck,
Stephen

Can anyone enlighten me about where we stand on rules for dumping trash,

Used furniture, etc. on the sidewalks?



If you pass by 4316 Pine, you can see a big accumulation of junk almost blocking

the sidewalk.  This morning (Saturday) I saw 4 guys

Who would appear to be students alternately standing on the porch and carrying

Out junk and then tossing it on the sidewalk. I have not seen these guys before –

but, if they are moving

IN, why would they be dumping stuff in such a large volume on the sidewalk in

front of the house?



The piggish habits of lots of those renting on the 43rd-44^th block of Pine make

It one of the trashier parts of the neighborhood. If these 4 guys continue their

Habit of treating the sidewalk like a dumpster, I anticipate that our sorry block

Will be looking even more pathetically trashy.



Any ideas about how to deal with this problem? I would appreciate hearing them.



Thanks!
