My family has had a rat problem on Illinois St for the past few years. It has really gotten worse this year, when my dad took a picture of a rat in blind daylight. There are 2 slum landlords on our street, one right next to our house. The other house has a roof that could collapse any minute, and the front yard looks ugly. There are also chickens and roosters in our neighborhood, which I believe is illegal to have roosters in the city. My mom spoke at the meeting at Pulaski last night, and she talked to Ian Abreu on the phone. My Grandma, who lives on Ohio Street has also seen rats in the area. If you have seen rats in different parts of the city please let me know. They are usually scavenging yards from Illinois to Appleton Street, along Metcalf Street up to Pine Grove.

I don't know if any of you have Wednesday trash, if Capitol Waste is still collecting bins for now until the contract winner is announced. If you see any other hauler besides Capitol collecting bins in the city please let me know as there is no announcement regarding the contract winner.

I am wondering when will yard waste pickup frequency be reduced with the new trash contract and cut night last week. We usually have yard waste that goes out every week in summer, and less often in spring and fall. I do not know who won the contract, or who bid as it is not public. We usually have weekly yard waste that goes out in summer, so when should I notify my parents about the switch to bi-weekly? Should I tell them after Mayor Mitchell announces the winner, so they are not left calling the hauler, or should I tell them now?
