Alfrey explained that the city received reports about an “exponential amount of trash” that had grown there over the span of around two months.
As a result, the city posted 30-day legal notices, and the site was ultimately cleaned, Alfrey added.
“Great work by our team, and we will continue to clean up our city for our residents!” he wrote.
In addition, Alfrey said fencing would be installed to prevent similar issues in the future.
