Ellesmere Road in Scarborough Centre is a little better today because somebody said something and the city finished the work. That is how this is supposed to work.

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

A public litter bin on Ellesmere Road is overflowing with contents protruding from both openings, and the bin itself has broken side panels, a damaged cigarette ashtray, and a deteriorated front face requiring cleaning and structural repairs.

Description · in the reporter's words

Overflowing trash can needs to be serviced more regularly. Also this trashcan is in a bad state of repair, the side panels are broken, the cigarette ashtray is damaged, and the front face of the trash can is dirty and needs to be cleaned and repaired with attention to detail.
