Harvard University Housing employs a contractor who brings empty dumpsters for residents at 85-95 Prescott Street in which to place their trash. After the first snowstorm on January 26-27, 2015 and before the second snowstorm on February 2, 2015, the trash hauler brought a new style dumpster, or it was a new trash hauler. In any case this new type dumpster has a side door that does not open.
After the snowstorm too much snow accumulated making it difficult if not impossible to open the top door. Residents began placing their trash alongside the dumpster providing food for raccoons, rodents, squirrels and birds during this period of extreme cold. Though this is a health hazard it is not an emergency. In keeping with the Housing division email on February 2, 2015 it will wait until after the snows end.
These images were captured at about 3:30 PM on Tuesday February 3, 2015 the day after the second snowstorm.
