EAST PHARSALIA – As the garbage continues to pile and complaints from nearby neighbors worsen, one town supervisor said he, like many other government officials, is beginning to take action against residents who choose to disobey code regulations.

Dennis Brown, Pharsalia town supervisor, said a year ago property owners at the four corners in East Pharsalia began to clean up the debris surrounding their trailer. The property in question has piles of bagged garbage littering both the front and back of the home, a problem neighbors said is getting worse.

Neighbor Amanda Hamilton said she is worried for her children’s safety because the property, just yards away from her home, may pose a health risk. “If an animal gets into something over there and get rabies or something, it will put not only them but us in danger, too,” she said.
