Trash-filled street near elementary school angers residents
Frayser neighborhood fed up with illegal dumping near elementary school By Kelli Cook | May 3, 2021 at 9:08 PM CDT - Updated May 3 at 10:33 PM
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - City leaders say illegal dumping is a problem in this city.
That’s especially evident in the Frayser community where angry neighbors contacted the WMC Action News 5 newsroom about a street littered with trash.
West Side Drive in Frayser is filled with old mattresses, discarded couches and trash just feet away from Westside Elementary and Middle Schools.
“I’m thinking if I had to pass this every day as a little child, it feels like I was just thrown away,” said a woman who didn’t want to be identified, but said her grandson attends Westside Middle School.
West Side Elementary And Chickamauga And Chattanooga National Military Park Continue Partnership Tuesday, May 4, 2021
Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park will continue its support with West Side Elementary as part of the Catoosa County Schools Partnership Program. This program has continued since its inception in 1989.
Recently, the park’s Resource Management Division assisted West Side with the restoration of a plaque, located at the school. Also scheduled with West Side, is the annual March for Parks, taking place on Tuesday, May 11, where students raise money for monument, marker, and tablet restoration on Chickamauga Battlefield. The fifth-grade class will enjoy a field day to the battlefield to see just what their efforts in battlefield preservation are doing.
