Bag limit affects city cleanliness

To the editor:Now I understand why I'm seeing so much trash all over town. This week I placed three 30-gallon trash bags in my driveway thinking they would be picked up by the city. The two smaller bags were picked up. The largest bag was left with a tag attached informing me that only two bags would be picked up. Ironic as it may seem, that bag contained all the debris my husband and I spent all day picking up on our vacant lot and in the neighborhood where we live. I really don't think you want that redistributed.

We've moved back to Cape Girardeau after being gone 45 years. We're proud of our hometown. Why make it so difficult keeping it clean?
