JoAnn Bogolin hopes this trash issue will soon be resolved.

Item: Atlanta (Fulton)

Leslie Gerber has been dealing with a smell for quite a while.

“About 20 yards down Fairhaven Circle from where it dead-ends into Peachtree Road, there is always an overwhelming odor of gasoline that goes for about 10 more yards and seems to be going into Peachtree Creek. It has been that way for many months and it seems dangerous and potentially hazardous. I do not know who to contact about investigating this issue,” she wrote.

We sent this to the city and will keep you updated.

JoAnn Bogolin has a issue that she wants the city of Atlanta to solve.

“In the Virginia-Highlands neighborhood, we have not had lawn and leaf pickup since May. I have reported this weekly through the 311 app. When I called to report this verbally, I am kept on hold for 20 plus minutes at which point I hang up,” she wrote.

She said some of the residents keep rebagging our bags because, with the rain, the bags are breaking down.

“If and when we get service again, I’m concerned the team picking up the bags will leave behind all of the materials that fall out when the bottoms of the bags tear away, for the people who have not rebagged,” she added.

We sent the issue to the city.
