I am disgusted by what I see happening to our city. An early-morning walk through downtown Oxnard confronts you with trash everywhere, especially on weekends. Don’t these people have any respect for their city? Why aren’t the litter laws being enforced? Trash bins at businesses and apartment buildings are overflowing with trash. The lids on the dumpsters won’t close, allowing the seagulls to spread trash everywhere. Why don’t we require larger Dumpsters or empty them more frequently? If the adults have no respect for our city, what can we expect from our children?
