Dee Aaron's Inc @ 118 E Kirkwood has apparently been using public trash barrels for commercial trash disposal. Will forward two pieces addressed to this business which were pulled from the trash left there.

I own and live in a property at 118 N. Jackson St. The alley that runs directly by our home (runs parallel between Kirkwood and 6th Street) has become extremely overgrown in the last two years. It's often a dumping ground for clothes, junk and drugs (yes, I have photos of various people hiding items in the brush for others to retrieve). Heretofore, my girlfriend and I are the only people picking things up when clothes and junk are dumped in the alley. I would love a city clean up of brush, limbs, overgrowth and trash and feel like a better looking alley would not lend itself to discarded items so often. I've included one photo from my kitchen window of one (of several) instances in which a seemingly homeless man was hiding/exchanging items in the brush for (what i assume must be) other individuals to find. I of course realize this alley is never going to get a garden award but do believe shaping it up and removing much of the brush would help this situation greatly.
Recyclables left at curb. This is the 2nd house N of 4th on Jefferson....big front yard w/driveway off of 4th.
The grass is too tall. It is at least past your knees. There are dead tree branches in the backyard. The place is pretty unsightly.
Pickup truck loaded with trash bags. Some of the trash bags have ripped open and trash is blowing all over the neighborhood.
The grass is high at 118-120 W. Pinewood Drive.
