A problem in Baranavichy: people and animals leave feces in entrances and elevators, and utilities refuse to clean up after them

Recently, there has been an increase in cases in Baranavichy where traces of vital activity appear in common areas of apartment buildings – on stairwells and in elevators. This includes both domestic animals and people themselves, writes "Nash Kraj".

Cleaning in entrances is done by housing maintenance workers. "These are ordinary people who come to sweep, clean dust, wash floors – maintaining basic order," the publication reminds.

— It is not their duty to eliminate the consequences of others' bad manners, — says Anastasia Yevseeva, deputy head of the Housing and Utilities Department (ZhREU). — Cleaners should not and are not obliged to clean up feces left by negligent guests or pets. Utility service workers are not servants for those who cross the bounds of decency. Let's respect others' hard work and remain human, respect our neighbors. If your pet couldn't wait until outside, please show civic responsibility and clean it up yourself.

According to ZhREU, the situation with excrement in some entrances is getting out of hand.

"But even more striking is the cynicism with which some residents try to justify it. Making comments is useless: the standard excuse is that people pay according to the utility bill, and the cleaner gets money for it and is obliged to clean," writes the local newspaper.

— ZhREU tariffs include maintaining cleanliness: washing floors of dust and dirt, sweeping, wiping windows. There is no, and cannot be, an item for "elimination of human and dog feces," — says Anastasia Vladimirovna.

"One way or another, the money in the utility bill does not give the right to lose one's humanity and turn a common home into a public toilet," the local newspaper argues.

In the comments to the publication, there was room for both indignation and irony:

"News worthy of the city, one feels proud of their native places."

Some readers suggest installing more cameras. "Cameras won't help. The level of culture has fallen..." others are convinced.

There was an even more substantial suggestion: to identify the culprits through DNA analysis.

And one of the readers wrote that a similar problem exists in Grodno:

"This, apparently, is a new trend among young people. The same thing happens on our stairwell. Moreover, they even put notes with messages in the fragrant pile. Grodno."
