Neighborhood public schools, should be good neighbors!
Public schools should be responsible for litter/refuse pickup on their property as well as the sidewalks, gutters and parkways across the streets from the school, as debris blows from school property to surrounding nearby areas. Or the schools should provide access to a trash bin for the schools neighbors to deposit school trash/debris in.
Why is this important?
The schools contribute to litter in our communities. Our neighborhoods standards, respect and appearance is harmed by the amount of trash/debris, negligently left to blow or settle. Neighborhood gutters and sewers are clogged from the trash. Flooding occurs from clogged gutters. These schools are public and funded by our taxpayers. Shouldn't they give something back to the communities they are in...besides garbage?
