“#Washington Square Park garbage truck stinks up street<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Something stinks at Washington Square Park and it\u2019s not the stench of marijuana.<\/p>\n

A Parks Department garbage truck sits parked nearly around-the-clock just outside the south end of the square, often with trash bags amassed around it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt reeks. It smells horrible. The back is open. There are flies,\u201d one long-time local resident fumed. \u201cThe bags just pile up into the sidewalk. There\u2019s no excuse for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The woman said the trash bags block the path for walkers and joggers.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t even get me started about this garbage,\u201d said another woman walking her dog along Washington Square South on Friday near the truck. \u201cTell Bill de Bla-Zero to get his damn act together.\u201d<\/p>\n

A resident of nearby Sullivan Street for 53 years said trash has been an issue inside the park too.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe garbage gets bad there, especially on the weekends,\u201d the woman said. \u201cEveryone thinks it\u2019s the Village and they can be free, but they wouldn\u2019t do it at their house.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eddie Lew, a West Village resident since 1969, also said parkgoers could be disrespectful throwing trash on the ground.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s annoying and if you tell them to stop, they just don\u2019t care,\u201d Lew said.<\/p>\n

The park has been the focus of resident complaints for months with the northwest corner known as a \u201cdrug den\u201d with open heroin and crack use. Hundreds pack in for out-of-control weekend parties with drug use, alcohol sales, amplified music and unlicensed boxing matches. <\/p>\n

Some of the revelry has turned violent with Pride Parade celebrants clashing with cops in June and attacking food vendors.<\/p>\n

Mayor Bill de Blasio said late last month the city would start addressing the quality-of-life issues in Washington Square Park.<\/p>\n

The Parks Department said it had relaunched an anti-litter campaign in April. It said Washington Square Park was cleaned throughout the day with a morning crew arriving at 7 a.m. and an evening crew is onsite until 10:30 p.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the department said the trash bags collected by the night crew are not loaded into the \u201cpacker truck\u201d until the morning, before the vehicle leaves at 7 a.m. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe empathize with passersby and will make a concerted effort to wash out the packer more frequently to minimize any odor,\u201d a department spokeswoman said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
