Late Tuesday afternoon I noticed a large dumpster that had been dropped on South Jefferson Street behind Harris Bank. It was dark brown, and there were no barricades around it to warn drivers after dark.
It was 5:10PM and, as I dialed Public Works at 338-6118, I expected to get a voice mailbox. Imagine my surprise when Jeff answered. He understood the problem immediately and said he'd take care of it. And take care of it, he did. Lighted barricades were placed behind and in front of the dumpster, and hopefully no one will run into them and the dumpster late at night after the downtown bars close.
Thanks, Jeff, for answering the phone "after hours" and for taking care of the problem!

You are supposed to contact Publi Works and fill out a "permit" toplace a dumpster on the street. The city provides the barricades if they deem the placement agreeable and not detrimental to traffic or parking concerns.
It would be nice if it worked that way.
It does work that way. In this day people should know that if you think you might need a permit or permission from local regulatory bodies then you probably do. The really refreshing part is that there is no fee attached. Try getting that kind of treatment in, say,Cary!
