Who knew a couple of dark-blue dumpsters might be seen as things of beauty?

That’s pretty much what folks who live near a reeking, moldering, garbage-strewn foreclosure home at 7600 N.E. 128th Ave. in Sifton have been saying since Thursday, when a cleanup crew arrived with giant trash bins and other equipment.

Finally. After four months of complaints to Clark County and work by code-enforcement officials to get all the legal hoops jumped through work will begin.

“Just getting the garbage out, that’ll be a blessing,” said Destiny Diaz, who lives with her husband and children near the home. “It’s taking a big stress off my mind to know that our kids can run around and be somewhat safe.”

“What’s not to be happy about?” said Kenneth Diaz. “Just one less danger in the neighborhood.”

Motorists on busy 76th Street have had a view of the eyesore as well, and some reacted when they saw the cleanup crew, the mother said.
