More Trash Collected in Front of a Home Near Alliance...


Left by Alliance's customers. As the mess accumulates, the homeowner is forced to pick this kind of stuff up 3-4 times a week.

Stolen and Abandoned Recycling Bins Come as Far as a Mile Away...



Weeks later and this abandoned recycling bin still sits kitty corner to Alliance Metals. (854) Athens Avenue is a mile away from Alliance and a known location with rampant drug activity. Alliance customers hanging out there will look for any opportunity to get money for more drugs. One common solution is to steal recycling bins, wheel them down our streets to Alliance Metals. Borrow a (stolen) shopping cart from Alliance and transfer the recycling to it and bring it into Alliance for cash. What happens to the original recycling bin? It gets left on our streets, in front of our homes and stays there for days, even weeks...attracting other dumped materials. Thank you Alliance.

Alliance Employee Contributing to Blocking Traffic on 34th Street...



Again, I thought this is something that Alliance doesn't do. Much just like all the other stuff Alliance claims they don't do or are not responsible for. It's just frustrating to have a badly behaving business in our neighborhood. No other local business creates such headaches for the neighborhood.

I thought Alliance employees were suppose to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

Alliance Customers Eat their Food and Leave Behind Their Trash...


This is a favorite location between Alliance Metals and Willie Keyes Recreation Center where Alliance customers frequently sit and eat food provide by groups like Food Not Bombs. Though well-intentioned, FNB lets Alliance's customers take their food away then the used and messy plates end up on the ground, on our streets, in front of our homes. BTW, this is also a favorite place for Alliance customer to "hide" and do their drugs.

When Alliance Doesn't Accept Materials this Is Where it Ends Up...


On our streets. This is next to the Willie Keys Recreation Center at Peralta and 32nd. Just what our neighborhood kids need to see. How inspiring.

A Favorite Corner for Dumping Recycling Bins Stolen by Alliance Customers...




Other disrespectful folk think it's OK to contribute more junk. Not only does this look bad, it attracts other unwanted blight and crime to the neighborhood.
