I am pleased that since I moved in to Logan four years ago the five apartment buildings on the 1400 block of R Street have started a daily morning garbage clean-up. Yet, a few yards east of the apartments, there's always street filth accumulating in every available corner — the gutter, the treeboxes, and the Zipcar lot.
The trail originates across Corcoran from Kazanchi's, runs through the alley, and terminates just before reaching 1416 R Street. It's not as if the prevailing winds blow trash tumbleweeds in that direction.
It's just a bummer, if an inevitability, that some apartment residents feel that using garbage cans is too taxing. Is it too much to wish that A.Y.T., Zipcar, and Kazanchi's would also help out? While I await the unlikely, I'll put this area on my mental list of potential neighborhood clean-up sites.

Summer Loitering = Summer Garbage

The eastern half of the 1400 block of Corcoran is a total mess. There seems to be a lot of refuse coming from purchases made at Kazanchi's, from people hanging out in front of the store.
Hello 14th and You - yes, please put this on your mental list of neighborhood clean up sites and if I can help in any way, please let me know. I live across the street from the apartment buildings on this block and while the buildings do a daily trash clean-up on their side of the street, many of the residents also deposit their trash on the north side of the street which we, inevitably, are left to pick up and I know we're all sick of it. Thanks.
