49th Ward Streets and Sanitation Supervisor-Not at Work

Over-Flowing Dumpsters on Sidewalks and in the Alleys
Full DumpsterDJ's RanchDJ Ranch24
Glenwood Avenue. Garbage spilling over, onto the ground. Where is our 49th Ward Supervisor? Isn't Mr. Bill Norkett monitoring this situation? Where are the SSA #24 janitors? How long has the overflowing alley dumpster garbage been there? Since January 7th. This dumpster is located next to DJ's Ranch. I reported this problem to Alderman Moore by email with this photo. Great job Alderman, all this garbage is a excellent breeding ground for rodents.
Out of Bounds
Where is Mr. Norkett? Here he is. Cruising the city, entering Lake Shore Drive at Hollywood, far away from the 49th Ward. This was mid-day Tuesday. Where was he going? Was it an important meeting downtown? Does he know his rear, left tail light is burnt out and not working also? For over two weeks Mr. Norkett has missed this alley garbage, too busy cruising LSD, I guess?

Bill Norkett is only responsible for the city trash can on the left............No?

Call Lakeshore and I think the other dumpster is a Union

owned dumpster. Both private Co's. Best of luck contacting them.

Of course given it's winter,and Owners/Managers/Condo Boards often only pay for one pick-up a week in order to save $$$ maybe you should dig a little deeper in your zeal to uncover the story of the year.

I may have un-covered a juicy one Charlie, more on this in the future.

Matt Smith with the City of Chicago Streets and Sanitation has been working with me to solve this mess. Here is a response I got today.

"I saw your message and immediately followed up. As soon as I received your complaint we sent out inspectors from Mayor Daley's Dumpster Task Force to follow up."
