Residents of a Georgia townhome community say they are being forced to live with overflowing, foul-smelling garbage after what they describe as more than a decade of neglect by their homeowners’ association, turning their neighborhood into an ongoing health hazard.

Homeowners in the Reserve at Lake Ridge subdivision in Riverdale told Fox 5 Atlanta Thursday that a compactor system, which is meant to handle household trash for the townhome community, is broken, causing massive piles of garbage every month.
