City responds after residents contact KPRC 2 about trash pile in Houston’s Sunnyside

A month-long battle with illegal dumping in Houston’s Sunnyside neighborhood ended quickly after residents reached out to KPRC 2 for help.  The pile of furniture, food waste, and household items that had accumulated on Larkspur Street disappeared within hours after KPRC 2 contacted city officials about the situation. “I lived here all my life,” said Ruthie Kinsey, a longtime Sunnyside resident who expressed deep concern about the deteriorating conditions in her neighborhood. “This block is my passion. A lot of my neighbors are still here that were here when I was growing up.”
