A Pasir Ris resident's attempt to declutter her home backfired after passers-by turned her neatly placed discards into a 'mountain of trash'.
A team of four town council cleaners reportedly had to work overtime until 9pm to clear the staggering amount of rubbish. The situation wasn't limited to the common areas either. The refuse chutes in the block were reportedly choked with trash, forcing cleaners to resort to alternative methods."It was so full, we couldn't clear it the way we always do," explained one cleaner.
The incident coincides with the recent completion of the Home Improvement Programme in the estate, potentially leading to a surge in spring cleaning and unwanted items.
