City Responds Swiftly to Illegal Dumping Complaint

Curious about the New Millennial Homes site on S. O'Brien, I wandered over there after the last Civic Association of Port Tampa (CAPT) meeting and took a few pictures. At the end of the street are some concrete barriers that seem to be made primarily for disguising illegal dumping, as seen in this picture. I have to admit I sat on the info, just stewing, for a couple days before contacting the city. Once I did submit my complaint, via tampagov.net the code enforcement folks responded immediately via e-mail then some time this week hauled the stuff away. That's about 18 days from my complaint to the stuff being gone. Of course 18 hours would have been better, but hey one e-mail from someone who doesn't even live adjacent to the property and it was taken care of. A code enforcement officer even called once to explain there would be a delay to get the right personnel and equipment to get behind the barriers. When she said "delay" I was thinking weeks, not a few days. If you see trash accumulated on a public right of way report it at tampagov.net. We don't have to let our neighborhood get dumped on!
