By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

TL;DR Any recommendations for who to contact about someone taking out the trash from around 6 to 6:30 am?

I live in Mt Pleasant (Ward 1) in an apartment building that backs up to a private parking lot for row houses. The row houses have formed an association that pays one of their members to take out the individual trash bins for all of the residents– my guess is somewhere in the range of 20-30 bins. (more…)

“Prince George’s county animal shelter”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,
