Due to wet conditions, the clean up planned tonight at 5:30 for the area around Wal-Mart, Target and the Fort Dodge Middle School is postponed.
I greatly appreciate the efforts made to clean up this problematic area so often. However, has the reason for the continual excessive amount of litter been investigated? I suspect strong winds are causing containment to be a problem. Is it coming from Walmart's dumpsters? Or possibly other business/school dumpsters in that area? Maybe the containment fence designs need to be changed. Is the wind blowing it when the garbage truck dumps the dumpsters? Would a different dumpster location or truck direction solve this? Can something be changed to eliminate the need for citizens to clean up this problematic area only to have it need it again in a couple weeks?
