'They think it's a dumping ground': Buffalo church deals with illegal trash dumping on Chalmers Ave

Members of Elim Christian Fellowship Church come to service to be uplifted, but one look at the parking lot and surrounding streets raises concerns.

Pretty sad, disgraceful, and disrespectful. As a kid my Mom often took me to Central Park Plaza to buy sneakers, clothes, school supplies, Halloween costumes, etc. (Grant's, Kresge's, IDS). Although the plaza is now long gone, new apartments/condos/townhouses are now there. Ansolutely NO EXCUSE for people to be dumping their trash at the church. So disrespectful to God.

Infuriating

Hey Elm Christian Church: That's what City Police are for. Hire a nightwatchman to call the police when this happens sort of thing again. Request a meeting with the Police Commissioner to make sure patrols respond in a timely manner when called to the church. Police arrest irritant individuals. The church press charges.
