Monday morning, call the Health Department and make a FORMAL complaint. Take Photos! Then, Call you local TV Station and tell them that you have photos and they WILL come out and make a BIG deal out of it. That will cause the store to FIX IT!

Answer 3

you can go to the polices,or keep asking them to move it.it mite not be to smart but if you are brave you cloud take trash from the Dumpster and dump it in the back of the store outside.butt you probably should not do that,or report it to everyone you know.

Answer 4

You should probably bring it to the attention of your city health and zoning department. Call your town/city hall and ask this same question.

Answer 5

keep lighting it on fire. they will move it eventually
