Issue case study
Trash room overflow every Sunday night
Residents reported a recurring Sunday-night trash overflow. Weekly photos in the issue thread are building the case for adjusting the collection schedule.
The building's waste collection is Monday morning, but by Sunday evening the room routinely overflows. Residents log a photo each week to give the manager evidence for the collection contract renegotiation.

- •Chronic cleanliness issues are usually contract issues — track them so the next renewal reflects reality.
