Residents are being forced to hike around piles of trash in Midwood on East 23rd Street, behind PS 197, to get to their cars, reports the New York Post.
Residents say the school’s garbage was left out for a week, and the behavior has become routine. Sanitation trucks are supposed to pick up the trash every Thursday, but last week was Veteran’s Day: a day off for city workers. Until residents and Sanitation agree on a better solution, the trash will be moved off the street into a fenced area on school grounds.
The Post reports that this is the same school that made the news after a bed bug clean-up gone wrong required classrooms to be quarantined and covered with insecticide.
