C-Town Council Discusses Garbage Removal

For the time being, residents of Collegetown will have to tolerate walking among overflowing mounds of styrofoam and rotting food. The Collegetown Neighborhood Council was unable to reach a decision yesterday during a follow-up meeting to discuss viable solutions to the mounting problems tied to high levels of garbage in Collegetown.

“I walk through Collegetown everyday and I see vomit on the sidewalk,” said Donna Fleming, president of the Bryant Park Civic Association. “I want it to be a more family friendly neighborhood.”

“These problems in Collegetown are not new, and they will probably never disappear,” said Mary Tomlan, co-chair of the CNC. “But we can take some steps towards improving the ambiance of Collegetown.”
