Ship Bottom officials are talking trash – literally – after Councilman Tom Tallon last week said residents are complaining about the overflow of garbage at properties where there are not enough trash bins.

“I think part of the problem is people are not eating out in restaurants; they are doing takeout and cooking at home,” Tallon said during the Aug. 25 borough council meeting, where he brought the issue to light. “The rental properties have become a little bit of a problem.”
