This street's story: Collection runs on a schedule, so a bin that overflows once tends to overflow again on the same day of the week.

The case we sent

Report details · AI-written, reviewed by the reporter

Open needles and discarded medical supplies are present near the greenhouse entrance at Carlton Street. This biohazard waste requires professional cleanup due to bloodborne pathogen exposure risk and cannot be handled by standard waste services. Three litter bins are nearby with regular collection, but specialized remediation is needed for safe removal.

Description · in the reporter's words

Near the entrance to the greenhouse there are open needles and medical supplies
