NU 12- What pisses me off in the neighbourhood – Joseph Cunanan

Ateneo Innovation and Entrepreneurship "New ideas create more and better new products and services; create more wealth."

Here are the things I hate most in our neighbourhood:

People throwing their trash along sidewalk in the middle of the night. The expectation is for
them to wait for the garbage collector to pick it up in the morning, but some neighbours opt
to let it all out by 10pm. These cause more garbage on the sidewalk because dogs & cats tend
to open the plastic bags in search of food. What needs to be done are the ff:


- Educate the people of the schedule hours of garbage collection thru leaflets
and posters.
- Schedule nightly rounds of Barangay Tanod and include on their agenda to
identify on which street corners have the most offenses in throwing their
garbage.
- Penalize people who are caught to teach them lessons.
- If budget allows, install CCT cameras on common areas to indentify these
people, at the same time also serves as a security camera against theft and
robbery.
