140-146 N ROYS AV CRAIG R ALGER

01/26/14/11:15 AM/Sunday/Went out to shovel my platform garage driveway and noticed a guy clearing out a garage. Turns out to be the owner, Craig Alger, of the property at 140-146 N Roys Ave. I went to him and introduced myself and asked him if he is going to remove these items he is setting out. He said that if it was in the summer he might but given the winter not so. I advised he needed to call Columbus 311, 645-3111 and schedule a bulk pickup. Advised him he can call on Monday. I don’t think he will. Once he left this is what I found in the 300 gallon trash receptacles.

RM3028841
RM3034382
RM3030871

Ironically the trash can right in front of the garage, RM3033452, he left empty.

This is unacceptable for a property owner to burden our community such as this, especially when he owns several properties and should have the resources to take care of his tenants trash. Additionally, he overfills by weight these trash cans on a Sunday and our next trash pickup is not until Wednesday. The set out items are not really too much of a concern given the many pickers we have in our area and as a matter of fact as of this writing, 01/27/14/Monday, the set out items are all gone! One trash can had layers of broken glass in it. The other had wood and such items. The trash cans are filled to overweight capacity.

Another example of a property owner, 5 parcels of properties in fact, that thinks he can use the city to manage his trash disposal needs when he should have hauled this off himself or paid someone to do so. The trash cans were filled to the top with trash and appears to be heavy items not just typical trash which will result in excessive weight for when they need to be picked up. Craig was driving a black car, I believe a Mazda. License plate number: BQ51NN
