Can the city please address this constant problem of residents not properly securing their recycling containers and lacing them out far too early, especially on windy days such as today? I arrived home today here at my residence on Grove Street to this absolute mess of everyone else’s trash! This seems to happen more times than not, since the city does not provide the residents of Gloucester the proper recycling containers and people are just leaving the open top containers (provided by the city) as well as all things brown paper bags, which the wind just whips around and scatters their trash all amongst the street (mostly in front of my home and my elderly neighbor)! In my opinion this littering! Is it not? I even notified the Gloucester Police regarding this issue today to see if I could get some sort of assistance from them and they advised me to notify the city for this issue? Either way I expect this issue to be resolved accordingly. Residents need to be more proactive and use more common sense to not allow their trash to end up scattered all throughout the city, and the city officials need to hold this residents accountable for their actions. Thank you for your time with this matter and I would greatly appreciate if the city could send up a crew to pick up all of this trash since I have severe back issues myself and my neighbor is elderly and in his 80’s!
