Shared trash collection points for homes without storage
Resident asks for shared trash collection points where properties cannot store bins, to keep sidewalks clear for disabled and older neighbors and reduce litter.
English title and summary written with AI from the resident's text.
The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Residents on this street do not have the ability to store trash cans and so bags are often left on the sidewalk on trash day. Shared collection points should be installed for properties that cannot reasonably accommodate proper trash cans
Who it helps and why
This would make the sidewalks passable and safe for neighbors with disabilities or older residents. It would also reduce litter, improve sanitation and ease the burden on sanitation workers
