A smelly problem with lingering issues — That’s what people in Milwaukee’s Valley Park neighborhood say they’ve been dealing with.
“I’ve talked to DNS, I’ve talked to sanitation, I’ve talked to the health department. I don’t know who else to talk to and that’s why I called you,” neighbor Yvonne Wentlandt said.
Wentlandt called TMJ4’s Jenna Rae Monday asking for help with an overflowing trash problem across from her house. It’s a problem so bad, neighbors said the whole neighborhood is infested with rats.
While walking around her yard with her trash picker-upper, Wentlandt picked up trash in her yard, bushes and even in the street.
“Oh this is normal, yes, because of the garbage up the block,” she said.
