The Trash On The Downtown Plaza Is Out Of Control

I was speaking with some friends who own and operate a business on the Downtown Plaza about the trash situation and they flat out said, it's out of control.

They stated they spoke to the Mayor about it and nothing at all has been done about it. Apparently in the mornings it looks really bad down there because all the trash cans are overflowing. When Jacobs was head of Public Works, he had someone coming through there very early in the morning. Now, no one comes in there till almost afternoon and by then every trash can is overflowing.

This person has now made video footage of the trash and is working with local News Stations in the hopes of getting it on the air, since Barrie Tilghman won't do anything about it. Who knows, maybe they'll actually get it on the air and Barrie will look like a fool?

When I was posting pictures like this regularly about a year and a half ago, Mike Dunn actually brought it up in a Council Meeting and spoke directly with Gary Comegys about residents on the Plaza dumping their trash into the public trash cans. Gary responded with something like, I don't think it's all residents doing it.

OK Gary, take a look at the photo above. Do you think someone walking down the Plaza had it in their hands and just dropped it off there? I'm tell you, (all the Downtown businesses) don't pay to remove your trash. There is NO law against you putting your trash into those cans for FREE. Overwhelm the City with trash and show them the LOVE!
