Snow Melt Reveals A Dirty, Sodden Compost of Trash, Leaves and Christmas Trees on the Streets of New Rochelle

Written By: Robert Cox

Maybe we were better off with the snow?

Now that we can see what has been left behind as the snow melts, New Rochelle has turned into a trash heap in various places around the City. Christmas Tree pick up was set to begin on February 22nd but many areas report the trees are still there. Some neighborhoods still have leaves from the fall. Residents and shoppers on Sickles near North Avenue can walk from one end of the street to the other with their feet never touching the pavement. Cups, cans, boxes, paper and other garbage have turned into a sort of Papier-mâché melange.

  1. but it’s not as bad as your lead to believe
    This area was bad Sickles and North, the storm drains got clogged and the rain storm we had flooded the area, when the water went down it left a big mess, yeah there’s a lot of trash left on the streets, but it’s not as bad as your lead to believe. Remember most of the street cleaning has been suspended. And in most cases there’s still snow and ice at most curbs.

    1. you are remarkably well informed
      Considering that you have portrayed yourself as a store owner you seem to be remarkably well informed on the goings on within the DPW. And you always seem to be defending the DPW.

      Here you know all about storm drains, and street cleaning schedules, impact of heavy rain on the street, and even details like what is going on at a location pretty far away from the DPW City Yard.

      Gee, if I did not know better I would have to figure you are a DPW worker pretending to be something other than a DPW worker.

      1. Wrong once more! Mr Cox
        Wrong once more! I drove buy after sitting three times at that light I was wounding whats holding up the traffic at the light and as it turn out it was minor flooding and going back home i saw all the trash that was left over

        It was your web site that had the street that where suspended and it take no brains at all to come to the conclusion that all the garbage or and clogged the drain plus i have a scanner

        And where did i defend DPW, you make up crap as you see fit

        Gee, I wouldn’t even have to guess you pretending to a journalist

        Oh, and here is where you said you owned a store in New Rochelle

        Title: I can not give out my real
        I can not give out my real name as I own a shop here in New Rochelle, and if i did I would have to be politically correct and fit in with a click, then i would have to be one sided or two face and that’s not me.

        I guess when you lie so often it is hard to keep track of your lies, right?

      3. point me to where defend DPW it the sickles and north story
        Your an ass some times, In the story of sickles and north

        Point out the lie’s where??? you said i must work DPW not me!

        See mr Cox your always trying to make a story bigger, you turn thing around to fit what you want other to think.

        I do stick up for DPW when credit is do, but no where did i mention DPW in the sickles and north trash story. I never denied owning a store as i do, as i do.
        and the FEVANGAPALOOZA: G-29 Truck was about you acting like i super hero getting video “intrepid reporter” LMAO

      4. stop digging
        do yourself a favor and stop digging.

        I wrote “And you always seem to be defending the DPW.”

        You replied “And where did i defend DPW, you make up crap as you see fit”

        I answered providing NUMEROUS examples of your defending the DPW and pointed out that MANY of the articles you have commented on have something to do with the DPW.

        I guess you were not expecting me to run a quick check on your comments and display them here so readers can see for themselves that not only am I correct but that you are seeking to lie about it. Whoops. You guessed wrong.

        In either case, the issue here is the garbage that is strewn all over Sickles Avenue near North Avenue. You wrote “it’s not as bad as your lead to believe”.

        The photos speak for themselves, there are literally thousands of pieces of trash on the street over there. I am not “leading” anyone to “believe” anything. I am providing photos and accurately describing the vast amount of trash on the street in that area.

        The real question is why you would take such a simple, fact-based story so personally. I have offered an explanation. You work for the DPW, or based on your tone, your spouse or relative works for the DPW. In either case, looking at your comments you seem obsessed with defending the DPW at all costs.

      5. It was base on your title
        reread my first comment jerk i said it was bad at that corner but for the rest of the city it not that bad. It was base on your title, and it’s not as bad as you say as in the rest of NR once again you change it around to fit your side.

        Mr cox wrote “You work for the DPW, or based on your tone, your spouse or relative works for the DPW”

        Okay i give in! I do work for the city as a DPW worker, no wait parks and rec, no wait city hall is that what you want to hear? seem like that what you want, Then that would be a lie! I have no ties to the worker of NR only the ones that stop in to my shop!

        Like i said before in a post here, I look at things both ways something you don’t know how to do

        Mr Cox wrote,”The real question is why you would take such a simple, fact-based story so personally.”

        I didn’t I just said it’s not as bad as you say, you made a bigger deal

  2. trash
    Well i saw this morning (friday)that the street sweeper was out in the downtown around 5:00am.Thank god someone in city hall is using there head.
