Growing trash pile in NE Portland won't be removed despite rat infestation | Seattle RE Podcast

There has been a pile of trash at the corner of Burnside and Northeast 160th Avenue for nearly a year. It has caused a rat infestation and even caught fire at one point, yet the city has said it doesn't meet the criteria for removal.

Random items, including a car door and baby items, started piling up months ago and now span nearly half a block, according to Merry Skuse, who lives in an apartment complex nearby.

"It's been growing more and more but it's been here for a year," said Skuse. She said that she had a rat on her patio that she attributes to the trash pile's infestation. She said that a neighbor had a similar experience.

However, the problems don't stop there. The trash pile at one point caught fire. Hazmat crews removed some used syringes —but the rest of the trash remained.
