What Bugs Me
Inconsiderate resident does CNY spring cleaning and dumps bulky items at staircase

For the past two weeks, STOMPer Lee has noticed an inconsiderate resident dumping bulky items at the staircase of Block 107, Jalan Bukit Merah.

It's time CCTVs should be installed to catch the culprits, says the STOMPer. He adds:

"I am staying at Block 107, Jln Bukit Merah and every week I see items dumped at the staircase, especially between the 2nd and 3rd floor.

"Chinese New Year is coming soon, so it’s time to replace old stuff.

"But where to throw away the old stuff? Ah, HDB block staircase. Good idea and hassle free.

"This is what the owner has been doing for the past 2 weeks.

"Last week it was bed sheets, pillows and this week it's a sofa bed, bed and a cabinet.

"Pity the foreign workers who are going to remove these for them.

"HDB should come up with a way to prevent such selfish owners from dumping their stuff at staircases.

"HDB should place a notice on each floor to warn people against littering or even better, install CCTV."

The pillows & mattress still looks new. Should donate to charity. Last Mon's episode of the show (I think called Transfomers 2) hosted by Christopher Lee & Quan Yi Feng showed a family of 3 bros who does not have any pillows or mattress to sleep.

TC have such special services for clearing bulky item, please contact your TC for information. This can make a serious fire and jammed the exit for all.
