LEWISVILLE, Texas -- Trash overflowed from garbage bins at the Huntington Circle Apartments in Lewisville, and residents said the situation has been building for weeks.

"It's been like this for three weeks, piling up," resident Sandra Rayford. "We got wood rats out here. You can smell the trash when you get out your car."

Other residents said the accumulation of trash presented a heath hazard, particularly for children.

"It's unhealthty. It's not good for the kids playing around here," resident Mary Bryant said. "It will bring flies and rodents and things that carry diseases."

Workers at the leasing office, located in the 400 block of West Round Grove Road, left early Tuesday. They said the office, which was without electricity, was too hot. Some of the workers said the management company -- MBS Management Services Inc. of Metairie, La. -- was late in paying the office electric bill and the waste collection bill.

"They don't fix stuff, but they want their rent on time," Rayford said.

The Lewisville Code Enforcement Department issued a warning citation to MBS. Tuesday afternoon, a code enforcement official said the bills had been paid.

The chief of code enforcement said the complex would be assessed a $2,000 daily fine if the trash is not collected by Friday.
