[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Demand for Proper Outdoor Garbage Receptacles Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to address a concerning issue regarding the lack of proper outdoor garbage receptacles at [property address]. As a responsible tenant, I find it necessary to request that you take immediate action to provide appropriate disposal facilities for the residents of the building. Living in a well-maintained and hygienic environment is crucial for the health and comfort of everyone residing at the property. However, the absence of suitable outdoor garbage receptacles poses several problems that need to be urgently resolved. Allow me to outline the issues I, along with fellow tenants, have been facing. 1. Piling Waste: Due to the absence of dedicated outdoor garbage receptacles, trash accumulates haphazardly around the property. This creates an unsightly and unhygienic living environment, attracting pests and rodents. The piled garbage also emits foul odors, causing discomfort to residents and creating a potential health hazard. 2. Damaged Trash Bags: Without proper receptacles, residents are forced to place their garbage bags directly on the ground. Consequently, these bags are vulnerable to tearing, spilling waste, and attracting stray animals. This situation compromises cleanliness and emphasizes the need for dedicated garbage bins. 3. Lack of Recycling Facilities: In compliance with El Monte's recycling regulations, it is essential for the property to have clearly identified recycling bins. As responsible citizens, we are obligated to separate recyclable materials from general waste. However, the current absence of recycling facilities restricts tenants from fulfilling their environmental responsibilities. Considering the urgency and potential health risks associated with these issues, I kindly request that you address this matter promptly. Here are the specific actions I request you to undertake to rectify the problem: 1. Provide Sufficient Outdoor Garbage Receptacles: Install a sufficient number of sturdy, rodent-proof garbage bins with tight-fitting lids. These receptacles should be strategically placed at designated areas around the property to ensure convenient access for all tenants. 2. Introduce Recycling Bins: In compliance with El Monte regulations, please introduce designated recycling bins alongside the regular garbage receptacles. These bins should be clearly labeled to facilitate proper recycling practices among residents. 3. Regular Garbage Collection: Coordinate with the local waste management authorities to establish a regular garbage collection schedule. This will ensure that the bins are emptied promptly, minimizing the risk of overflowing garbage and associated issues. I believe that by promptly addressing these concerns, you will significantly improve the overall living conditions at [property address]. I kindly request a response to this letter within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days] to ensure necessary steps are taken without unnecessary delays. If no satisfactory action is taken within the specified timeframe, I regretfully inform you that we may have to explore alternative options, such as reporting this matter to the local health authorities or seeking legal advice. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I remain hopeful that you will take immediate actions to provide proper outdoor garbage receptacles, ensuring a cleaner, safer, and more pleasant living environment for all tenants.
