Editor: Wanted: The owner/operator of the large black pick-up truck and matching black flatbed trailer, probably a landscape company working in the South 91原创 area, who thinks it鈥檚 okay to dump large piles of rotting grass clippings along the sides of 4 Avenue, instead of taking them to a green waste or composting site.
The residents down here do not appreciate seeing, smelling, or walking through the great piles that you鈥檝e dumped out of the back of your trailer on to the side of the road.
I鈥檝e talked to several landscape companies in our area and they tell me that there is a substantial fine for this kind of negligent business practice, especially as it seems to be a deliberate policy or practice to avoid proper disposal of the green waste collected by the company.
I am hoping that the operator reads this and realizes that:
- you have been noticed;
- your customers may recognize the truck and trailer;
- your friends, family, and neighbours may also recognize the truck and trailer; and
- there may be worse consequences to your business than a mere fine, if you become known for your shoddy and illegal practices.
At this time, there are two large piles of grass clippings rotting along 4 Avenue. The operator knows exactly where. they are located.
He could remove them. My neighbours and I do not expect to see any more arrive.
I hope to see him on a 5 a.m. cleanup instead of dump-off soon. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Shawneen Hartmann,
