Yo, check what your city is actually doing

Listen, I'm not even gonna hold you, sometimes I scroll through these City Hall reports and it's just a whole lot of nothing, or just the same ol' same ol' jawn. But this week, when you look at the 311 requests, the **Rubbish/Recyclable Material Collection** keeps popping up more than once. That's two separate entries for that jawn, right up there with "Information Requests" and "Miscellaneous."

Now, you know we got issues with the wooder department, the potholes, and SEPTA — my dad been telling me about them trains since I was knee-high, or nah? But to see folks still hitting up 311 about their trash? That tells you something, especially with the weather getting warmer. We saw this back when the pandemic first hit, the collection schedule got all messed up, and then boom, rats and all that mess. Nobody wants that in their neighborhood, especially not my neighbors in West Philly. This ain't about some fancy Fishtown brewery jawn; this is about basic city services that keep our blocks clean.

This is a real quality of life jawn. Keep your eyes on this, because if they ain't picking up the trash now, imagine what it's gonna be like come July when it's humid as all get out.

That's the jawn, Philly — we don't do fake out here.

Kee.
