There was a segment on the news the other night about eyesores like this and
a number to call to arrange for cleanup. But that was for the city of
Memphis; we aren't in the city so I didn't write the number down. I have no
idea who I could contact about this trash.

I'm discovering it isn't so easy to find services like that in an unfamiliar city! (Phoenix must have about a dozen telephone books, two telephone companies, and I STILL can't get a white pages for my area, despite half a dozen calls to the 800 number that is supposed to provide them.) Since uncollected trash and garbage attracts rats, I'd suggest checking with your Health Department - if they don't handle such things, they can tell you which authority to call. Certainly it's the city's problem, not yours - it's just a matter of finding the right people to contact. (Failing that, why not phone the channel that aired the news segment you saw?)
