A payment dispute between a San Pablo, California resident and a local dumpster rental company ended with a load of debris being dumped back onto the customer's property.
"I don't want to keep living like this. I don't want to keep looking at this," a resident said of an overgrown lot in the Sunnyside neighborhood.
"I'm embarrassed for my friends who want to stop by and visit," the resident told ABC13. The lot, which is filled with heavy piles of trash since 2022, is expected to get cleaned up next Monday or Tuesday.
In Galveston, neighbors may have to pay over $50 more per year while business owners pay more than $200 per year.
The City of Houston's Solid Waste Management Department responded to an ABC13 report from the Sherwood Trails neighborhood, where residents claim their trash hasn't been picked up for months.
About 91,000 tons of recyclables, including paper, aluminum, glass, and plastic, were processed in the city last year, representing just an 18% rate. So, what are waste managers urging? ABC13 got you answers.
