As Cape Coral was moving toward progress with trash woes among residents, a city center experienced its own.
When Executive Director Michael Moran arrived at Cultural Park Theater for work Monday, he was met with a sight that is not common at the community center a large pile of garbage that included mattresses, couches and a lot of yard waste.
Moran was not happy.
“It was mind blowing to say the least,” Moran explained.
Evidently, Cape Coral residents who have been fed up with the ongoing issue with Waste Pro decided to dump unclaimed trash at their homes for the city to take care of at the theater.
