Move-in Weekend – 311
The city has let us know that with the incoming season of larger trash volumes and wrong day put outs, they have opened up the “Student Move In” feature on the 311 mobile app. While the case types that are offered inside the app exist already, they are now grouped together under this header for the next few weeks. The Parks Dept will also be attentive to illegal dumping in their parcels this season. Staffing is being increased and different shifts will be ramped up as well to ensure quick response to material placed out in violation. Please use the 311 app over the coming weeks to report trash and mattress violations connected to student move-ins and move-outs.
