I also filed a complain with the Philadelphia Police Department this week in their sanitation division. The block is absolutely disgusting. Having guests or family in from out of town and walking around is a disgrace not to mention it's awful trying to bike, walk, commute up 16th st.

I've seen wheelchairs having to go IN the street, while traffic is coming because people are putting out couches, boxes, bags of trash beginning the Wednesday night (a full week before trash day).

Hopefully some of your neighbors will take control of their trash.
