If you鈥檝e ever strolled through one of 性视界传媒鈥檚 many parks only to find a garbage bin overflowing with refuse, and Styrofoam cups and whatever else scattered on the ground around its base, you are not alone.

While seeing fallen leaves scattered around the base of a tree is something you can of course expect to see in our natural environment, seeing human litter mimicking this is truly sad.

性视界传媒 Coun. Jack Hundial is calling for a 鈥渂etter level of service鈥� for picking up garbage around bins 鈥渙verflowing鈥� with trash in city parks.

We couldn鈥檛 agree more.

Hundial made his remarks prior to council recently approving $1,210,067.04 in contracts to provide landscape maintenance services in our city parks. That鈥檚 no small coin.

While the challenge has been made for work crews to better tackle this problem, which not only creates eyesores but also attracts vermin, the responsibility is not exclusively theirs.

Everyone who uses the parks must do their part by not heaping more trash on top of a bin with clearly no more room for it.

Also, if you encounter a stuffed bin on your local journeys, definitely let city hall know about it by reporting the situation on surrey.ca/report, or by calling the city鈥檚 switchboard at 604-591-4011 or the Parks, Recreation and Culture general line at 604-501-5050.

Make your tax dollars work for you.

They鈥檙e called civil servants for a reason.
