(live here) – Residents of the Ramat Hashabi neighborhood complain that garbage collection services in the neighborhood operate at an unreasonably low frequency, to the point that the trash cans overflow. Along the entire length of Ovadia Street, for example, the trash cans are constantly overflowing, and with each passing day the situation only gets worse – as does the frustration of the residents who claim that this is not a one-time event, but a situation that repeats itself frequently.
Thus, last Friday (21/2/25), residents say that they repeatedly contacted the municipality to come and empty the bins, which, they said, were full to capacity. As of this writing (Sunday, 23/2/25), the situation remained as it was and the trash had not been emptied. Thus, the bins in the neighborhood remained full throughout the weekend, and it goes without saying that they continued to fill up during the weekend.
Additionally, residents claim that in recent weeks they have encountered another disturbing phenomenon, with the streets themselves filling up with garbage, which is also getting worse day by day.
In this matter too, they say that they contacted the municipality's hotline time and time again, but received no response. Only after a long time, they say, was the problem addressed. Here too, they note that this is an event that repeats itself over and over again.
One of the neighborhood's residents told Live Science that the overflowing trash cans attract wildlife, which find a source of food in them, especially given the fact that the neighborhood is located between two valleys. The residents are demanding an immediate solution and are asking the municipality to ensure that the trash is removed on regular dates and with the frequency required to keep the neighborhood clean. "We are demanding significant improvement in this matter," not just a "band-aid" every now and then, concludes another resident.
The Haifa Municipality responded:
"The garbage on Tishbi Street and the streets adjacent to it is cleared on a daily basis. In addition, regular patrols are conducted every day of the week by a foreman, who handles any overflow from the garbage carts, if any. Last Friday, the garbage cans in Ramat Tishbi were emptied at 12:00. At 16:00, five calls were received (from the same person) about overflowing garbage in the Tishbi neighborhood, and these were handled by the Sanitation Department.
It's not just that Anat Kalish wanted private contractors, and what happened? The city workers killed her. You wanted Yona, you got it.
I live in a town outside Haifa but come to Haifa with high traffic. I am amazed by the state of the overflowing garbage cans in various neighborhoods of the city. It is a shame. It is not pretty and it is not healthy.
Damages of Tama 38 – Hundreds of apartments are being added to crowded streets that were not designed for such a large population. Trash cans are overflowing. People are parking on sidewalks and in gardens. Trees are being damaged for parking and hot streets are being created instead of shade.
This is a disaster.
Haha, haha, I suggest adding more bins.
Sounds too complicated, it's easier to just shoot the civilians filling the bins.
Neve Sha'anan neighborhood, HaBaracheh Street, HaGalil, Trumpeldor and its parking lot are full of dirt, garbage cans are overflowing, Fridays are not cleared, garbage piled up on the sidewalks, ants come out of their nests on the sidewalks, a municipality that doesn't handle anything, only inspectors who write reports.
For Yahav, what's important to him is planting flowers around the city. That kind of madness. He doesn't care about the rotten infrastructure underground, the dirt and grime, the potholes in the roads.
The Haifa Municipality noted in its response that garbage removal in Ramat Tishbi would take place on Friday, February 21.2.25, 12 at 00:XNUMX.
The calls opened to hotline 106 from 16:00 PM onwards were about photocopied bins.
The sanitation department's patrol is not equipped with a garbage disposal truck on tow, while the amount of garbage left was within the capacity of a truck.
I don't know what you want, but you keep trashing Haifa. I don't agree with that at all. Haifa is very clean, one of the cleanest cities in the country relative to its size. Go to Jerusalem and complain about it. Go to Tel Aviv and see what it looks like. Don't bother with Haifa.
It must be noted that the city is clean. I certainly appreciate your dedicated work.
Rafi, are you real or a bot?
I must say that the city is clean.
And our neighborhood, adjacent to a central thoroughfare and food and shopping centers, is cleaner than ever.
But… we have a part in it too.
The lids of the bins are not opened by disappearing spirits.
We, the residents, should learn to close the lid of a can. Today, in the bitter cold, the cleaning staff worked and worked and did not neglect to sweep the sidewalks.
So I definitely appreciate their dedicated work 🙏🏻
It's interesting to see bins found on the streets where senior municipal representatives live...does it look like this on theirs too?
What's the matter? The senile needs to sleep in a clean place, and so does his friend...
