We have had several readers write in and ask about this dumpster that has been parked on Wilson and Kenmore for quite some time now. Allegedly, the alderman's office does not even know who it is registered to. Maybe our slew of clever apples can unravel this mystery. The closest street address to the dumpster is 1017 W. Wilson. Get crackin!

Argh! THAT'S where I parked my dumpster. A lesson in drinking and dumping if ever I've had one.
ReplyDeleteWilson is the place to be for dumpster parking. Folks just put them wherever they want them...with no regard for handicapped spaces or pedestrian flow.
ReplyDeleteProgress? It has been blocking this spot for almost a month and there is nothing in it and no one knows who it belongs to. Is that progress?
ReplyDeleteIf it were a temporary dumpster, it'd be gone by now.
ReplyDeleteProgress implies movement.
All you have to do is call National and they will tell you whos dumpster it is and also complain about where it is at. Also call 311.

National now Allied Waste is a mess. Our condo assoc. used them for trash pick up for 10 years. As soon as Allied purchased National customer service went down the toilet. It took over a month and many, many phone calls before they actually picked up their empty dumpster once our contract ended and we switched to another company.
ReplyDeleteAs for calling them to find out who the dumpster is registered to, good luck on that one too. When we were trying to get them to pick up our dumpster we were told they didn't show us as a customer! Yikes.
Let's raise some money to tow it. Someone will come out of the woodwork then. Dumpsters can't be cheap.

ReplyDeleteJust rent some tools and start cutting it up into manageable pieces. Then take it to the metal scrap yard and get some cash. If the company doesn't care about it, why not profit?
Ok. Let's do it and then donate the scrap money to the Chicago Food Depository. Maybe Helen Shiller can get behind that plan and look the other way when we are out on the street taking it apart?
ReplyDeleteThere's another dumpster down the street east of the new Pollo Loco. Get rid of that one too. If you want something done in this neighborhood, do it yourself. I bet no one would even say anything. I would personally rather pay to have another company pick it up and dump it in Shiller's front yard.
ReplyDeletehilarious 10:52. I would chip in to have it moved there, too!
ReplyDeleteI think the Dumpster to the east of Pollo Loco belongs to Jesus People USA. In my opinion they need more than a dumpster if they plan on cleaning that joint out.
ReplyDeleteWhy not use TIF funds to build a canal into uptown from the lake and we can have container boats come in to remove some crap.

The story of Allied's success is a classic City Hall tale. Since teaming up with Fred Barbara--a longtime friend of the mayor--in the late 1990s, Arizona-based Allied has become a political player in Chicago.
More...
Vicious rumor is circulating that our mystery dumpster has now mysteriously vanished.
ReplyDeleteThe dumpster is kaput.
ReplyDeleteVanished.
Gone.
No longer there.
Just like our Wilson Yard TIF money.
I noticed it missing as I walked over to the "smoke shop" for some rolling papers before I perused the "plans" for $460,000+ low income units.
Perhaps after smoking some Maui Wowie it will all make sense.
Yes, but the ONE blue dumpster in the Park on Wilson has now multiplied to THREE.
ReplyDeleteCaptain Kirk, the Trouble with Tribbles is that they Multiply.
LOL!!!!
