Illegal clothing bins are an eyesore, allege Brooklynites
Illegal clothing bins have been popping up in neighborhoods all over Southern Brooklyn and communities are doing what they can to fight the eyesores.
One resident leading the battle is Theresa Scavo, chair of Community Board 15 and a City Council candidate. She told this paper that one day, a clothing bin suddenly appeared at the side of a building on Kings Highway and East Second Street.
“The Department of Sanitation tagged the bin and it has to remain there for 30 days,” Scavo explained. “Sanitation removed it, but a property owner woke up and poof! This thing was outside his store.”
