So far I have tried...

After getting fed up everyday on my way to work, I tried addressing the situation via the city outlets available.

I filled in the online form to request trash pick up via this site. Great, I thought! I can file a complaint and it will get sorted.

Well it didn't.

On June 20th, I emailed the council. I stated that as a council tax paying citizen I expect certain standards. However, I recognised that funds are allocated in all sorts of ways and maybe trash was not their priority. I requested they provide me with a trash-picking-up stick so that everyday on my way to work I can pick up trash.

I never heard back from them. Basically I am willing to provide free labor and beautify the city. I have asked the bf for a trash-picking-up stick for my birthday. We will see if it is granted next week.

On July 18th I got an email from the Manchester City Council from a list serve I had apparently signed up for. It told me about parks, childcare and changes to bin collections. It also said "Want to see a change in your community?" and had a link to an online survey available here. Awesome! I took it. Nothing happened.

On July 28th, I tweeted them. I received a response on August 1st.


Yes. Thank you for your reply..... I've ALREADY DONE THAT!
