Subject: The garbage situation Author: Denise [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:37:33 10/01/02 Tue I have finally located the number of the appropriate individuals to contact about the Broadway garbage situation. Many have said that they would like to see a change. Here is our chance to act. PLEASE CALL the Brooklyn Sanitation Department #4 at (718)386-4726 and report what you see and where you see it. The Sanitation Department does not officially recognize that there is a problem until it has been reported. I have contacted the number to complain about the out-of-control dumping situation between Suydam and Willoughby on Broadway. I also told them that the metal mesh disposal bins on the street corners between Myrtle and Lawton had been removed which is only aggravating the situation. One call is not going to do it. Our Community Board (CB4) told me in a previous call (the number for CB4 is 628-8400) that only by bombarding the sanitation department with calls would things happen. Once again, please call and let your voice be heard! That's all folks [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

I, at the very least for the sake of my dog's health and my own sanity, will be calling the sanitation department. Please, everyone else, say that you will call too! The garbage situation is so ridiculous... if we could at least make it somewhat better, we'll all be a bit happier. As for feedback on the food drive, I'd be happy with whatever you decide (collecting money or cans). Whatever is easiest. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Told me they would check it out and maybe be able to clean it up tonight. He's been getting a lot of complaints about it (nice work). He says that they'll just keep dumping in that spot until the owners get caught by the "sanitation police." i thought that was him. so... who is it? n [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Community Activism - [WAS] Re: The garbage situation Author: Michael [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:28:52 10/03/02 Thu I called and made a report today to let them know about the dumping and the strange absence of trash cans on Broadway. They mentioned there have been numerous calls and that Supervisor Burgles (whoever that is) is "looking into it". Let's keep leaning on them so the Sanitation Department understands that this is a real problem. As for the Food Drive is some one planning to "pass the hat" or should we just put a box in the lobby marked "FOOD" Mmmm canned vegetables... [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
