Dear Editor, 

Have you ever missed a trash day? Or perhaps did some spring cleaning and had a little extra trash so you set the extra bags on top to make it easy for the trash collector?

Apparently in Syracuse, the extra trash is just thrown on the ground. I even tied the bags together with a string so that everything could be dumped at once. Anyway, now I am faced with the trash bags on the ground have to go into the trashcan which will take up needed space for next week’s trash this could turn into an unpleasant cycle.

Lastly, I would like to point out the spring cleaning I did that caused the extra trash occurred after a conversation with code enforcement and I was trying to avoid a violation (I’m fairly sure a burn barrel would be strongly frowned upon). Thank you for letting me rant.
