“Dear PoPville,
I was wondering if you might know what’s going on with missed trash pickups in Columbia heights? I reported to 311 but we’ve now missed 3 trash pickups over 2 weeks and it’s piling up. Wondering if other people are having the same problem or if anyone knows what’s happening??”

“Dear PoPville,
