Keeping B'game looking like B'game can be a challenge sometimes regardless of whether it is an amazing amount of garbage and recycling on the Avenew or just plain illegal dumping. Roving Voice reader Lisa Rogers asks the probing question
About a month ago I called the city about trash piling up over a period of a month on Rollins Road in 3 locations. Now there is a sizable dump along the fence next to 905 Rollins Rd. The cross street is Larkspur. The trash is under the No Dumping sign. The beginnings of a pile is also starting on Rollins Road at Winchester Dr. This part of town needs and deserves maintenance.
My thanks to the city representative who arranged to have that dump cleaned up. It would be great if the south-of-Broadway-portion of Rollins Road was checked at least once a month. Once again, thank you, City of Burlingame, for cleaning up this mess!

How about 7-11 helping with the cleanup of all the litter up against the soundwalls???

How about us Adopting the Area and make a commitment to keep it clean? I bet we can get some of the residents close by to sign on. Contact me if you are interested.
I think it is the Garbage company when they pick up the garbage there somehow it is spilling over. There is too much garbage for it to be just wrappers blowing around.

Didn't think anyone was serious. Just checking.

Once Trump gets things rolling-High Speed Rail, to the Mexican Boarder, the amount of debris/baby furniture should be reduced by 70%.
FYI
I have seen the Public Works Dept. picking up garbage along the sound wall.

The best way to address this problem is to have a once a month debris pick up on Rollins Road.
Debris pick up from Peninsula Ave. to Broadway.
No limit to what can be dumped..
Including, RV's, old cars, engine parts, diapers, household garbage, carpets that smell like cat urine, elderly relatives, nastified mattresses and box springs too.
Please contact any City of Burlingame Elder to let them know you/we/us are all in favor of a once a month debris drop-off, and pick up anywhere on Rollins Road.
Don't worry about blocking any driveways.
Most of the cars in driveways on Rollins Road appear to be broken down, and not registered.
That extrapolates into "No Car Insurance."
I bet Dollars to Doughnuts, most of the debris dumped on Rollins Road will be recycled into the "homes" of the tenants living on Rollins Road.
Enjoy.
I really believe this can work.
