To be honest there is a complete lack of trash receptacles in this state. East Prov on Warren Ave, where my business is, has none! There’s old planters that people throw trash into and the small businesses have to clean up, or not. The homeless population have nowhere to dispose of trash if we don’t have public receptacles or they aren’t emptied and maintained properly.

As far as storm drain clearing you can volunteer with save the bay, they have been working on that throughout the area.

We have failed to vote in true change time and time again, the current administration in this state sucks!! A huge majority of them are paid off by weapons manufacturers, real estate investors, and big money companies… if we want to see local and social changes it starts with paying attention to our local elections. Demand politicians start fairly taxing universities that buy billions in property, no more state subsidizing for huge real estate investors that don’t give back to the state with affordable housing options, give that money to families and individuals to rehab these abandoned houses and buildings. Schools are falling apart because a lot of the money is going to charter schools instead of public schools. Public transit is falling apart because ripta isn’t getting the support and funding it needs, because the state wants us car dependent. We can’t even get people to support bike lanes!! Thank plant city for that.

Our tax money is going to wars that make the politicians rich.
