Скачать или смотреть Garbage overflow at Home Forward property frustrates Portland neighborhood

Community members of a Southwest Portland neighborhood are dealing with what they call a massive waste problem right outside their front doors.

Residents of and around Slavin Court townhomes tell KATU the community dumpsters and public trash cans are practically always overflowing to the point they’re concerned it’s becoming a health and safety hazard. Many neighbors said it’s been a problem for years now, but it’s reaching a breaking point.

“When I come outside to get fresh air and there is garbage everywhere, it’s just disturbing and sad,” Slavin Court resident Angela Santana said.

Neighbors say the impacts of the overflow also extend beyond the dumpsters, spreading into the community playground and to other neighbors outside of the immediate community.
