Trash

My landlord has been slack on emptying the community dumpsters.

This is the third week of overflowing trash scattered around dumpster.
2 weeks ago I had to pitch my trash up over my head onto a mountain of trash to get it in the dumpster.

Second week there was no room. So I sat it by some neghbors bags.

This week I saw shit piled upon shit,broken shelves and other stuff piled up all around the dumpster area.
Behind the dumpster was a wall of trash.

I'm calling my landlord tomorrow.

This is what freaks me out about the trash besides the usual,like health hazard ,brings pests,looks gross,stinks etc.

In cities since restraunts
are closed the rats have lost thier sources of food.

They are aggressive,fighting each other eating each other and the rat pups to survive.

Eventually rats will migrate
out of the cities to find other food sources.
Rats or any animals under tremendous food stress will seek out places where food is.

Those dumpsters look like the ultimate rat Buffett for starving desperate,
aggressive,
cannabalistic rats.

My landlord stops by to gather rent every 2 weeks.
There is no excuse for this.

Lazy landlords are fucking stupid landlords.

Gawd help her if a rat hurts my cat Othello.

The warning from the CDC about the rats.

It's probably the city or a company franchised by the city.

Would be surprised if it's the landlord.

Curious to hear what you find out.

I call the landlord and nothing is done.
I'll give her three days to get that trash up.
