Your trash is piling up or nah?
Listen, if you been walkin' down Broad Street or even just tryna get your coffee from the Wawa on 17th and Arch, you probably noticed the trash situation gettin' a little out of pocket. And I'm not even gonna hold you, the 311 service request data is backin' that up.
The number one thing people are callin' about? Rubbish and recyclable material collection. Yeah, that's the jawn. While the exact numbers ain't available, the fact that "Rubbish/Recyclable Material Collection" is listed *twice* at the top of the 311 issues tells you everything you need to know about what's stressin' out residents. People ain't just seein' it, they're reportin' it. This ain't some made-up thing by the national news trying to dunk on Philly. This is *us* tellin' City Hall, "Yo, come get this wooder ice cup."
### What's Up With The Trash?
* **Top 311 Issue:** Rubbish/Recyclable Material Collection is a recurring top complaint. * **Residential Impact:** This ain't just a Center City problem; it affects every neighborhood from West Philly to Fishtown. * **Why It Matters:** Missed collections pile up, attract pests, and just make our city look grimy. We deserve better.
This tells you that even with all the talk about development and new apartments goin' up (which we also see permits for with "Residential Building" activity), the basic services are where the real rubber meets the road. Watch to see what the Mayor's office says about these recurring sanitation issues, because a clean city is a proud city, or nah?
That's the jawn, Philly — we don't do fake out here. Kee and the squad are breakin' down all this City Hall drama every single morning — get the scoop live at mornings.live.
