Hi Sanitation Inspector, The purpose of my writing is to complain about the absence of a trash collector company in my community. As a result, the heap of garbage is leading to numerous problems and health hazards. I am a resident of RWA. For, last two weeks, the trash has not been collected by the approved vendor, ABC Trashing Corp. The situation was in control until the last week as the community trash dumping area was occupying the waste. However, this week, the garbage is floating outside the dump yard, and all the bins are overflowing. It is becoming impossible to pass by the dump yard. Furthermore, people are not finding any place to dispose of their household waste. There is a foul smell everywhere in society, especially nearby the dumping area. Street dogs are making the situation worse. The trash is giving birth to flies and mosquitos, due to which people are falling sick. I would request the city council to intervene and send the approved vendor to collect the trash urgently. If the approved vendor is unavailable, please authorize a temporary vendor to solve this problem. I hope my suggestions translate into prompt actions from your side. Your kind co-operation would greatly help out. Best regards Felix
