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/recycling bin at 870 Markham Road is overflowing with garbage bags protruding from both compartments, with food wrappers, broken packaging, and miscellaneous litter scattered on the ground beneath and around it. The base of the bin and surrounding pavement are dirty and littered. Three litter bins service this area with collection scheduled 3–4 times per week.

Description · in the reporter's words

Garbage can overflowing and very dirty underneath
