Report
Workers leave trash on property water bottles fast food wrappers in street in front of property. Workers resting on lawn to close to windows had to ask several times not to do so in respect of privacy. One worker responded respectfully while the other saw no problem with standing against my home with muddy boots against my brick walls. I should not have to explain to anyone why this is inappropriate but common sense is common. The supervisors did correct the issue and the command post. The workers need more training on how to deal with home owners who want to ensure that their property is not going
