Cannot do this again~~ - garbage day


C&K*s Mommie wrote: I canot go another week without letting the garbage get picked up. It is right outside of our back door, so I can toss garbage into it. But I did not put it curbside at all last week, and now it is filled to the brim. We are usually good about putting it out, at least one of the two days it is picked up- but we did not now the garbage is full. Thank GOD Tues is pick-up day. rolling_smile.gif

coasterqueen replied: Oh gosh, we'd be in a world of hurt if we forgot. rolleyes.gif I thought I could get by w/o taking our trash to the road when DH was in Louisiana but I was wrong. How do we produce so much trash? wacko.gif And for us, it's no small walk to get the trash down the driveway to the road as well as the 90 pound garbage can my DH had to have so we only had to drag ONE garbage can down. I think he forgot that it would be 5 times as heavy though. wacko.gif wacko.gif happy.gif

Now don't forget to take it to the road on Tuesday! thumb.gif

holley79 replied: Nicole they have not picked up our garbage for the last 4 Fridays so I called to complain. I just put garbage in the neighbors garbage can. How can a household of 2.5 make SO much garbage?? rolling_smile.gif

C&K*s Mommie replied: I feel for ya, Karen! I really do! hug.gif hug.gif hug.gif

Holley, I can understand that some holidays cause delays but for (4) Fridays that is ridiculous! I am assuming it was only your house that they did not pick up at, since you were able to dump it into your neighbors. That is crazy! mad.gif Did you ever get an answer as to why they skipped your house?

holley79 replied: Nicole, they have to go past our house, turn around to pick up the rest of the neighborhood. The neighbors on my end don't always put out their garbage. So when we are the only can out they skip us. I told the lady at ECUA that if it continues they were going to get emails and phone calls from me everytime it happened. If they only want to pick it up once a week that's fine, I wil only pay have my garbage service. Of course she promised me it will never happen again. YEA RIGHT. It's not like we can shop for another garbage service. growl.gif

C&K*s Mommie replied: That is dumb! That they cannot take the 15secs to pick up a lone can, when they have so many more to do on the other side. mad.gif

I would do the same that you would do if it continues to happen.

Sometimes when our neighbors forget to put theirs out, they drag it across the street to our yard. That may be what you can do, put your can within a few feet from your neighbors can, so that the driver has a trouble with getting yours and theirs with that arm contraption. KWIM? He would have stop to get yours, then drive a foot or two, stop to get theirs, banghead.gif & maybe he would get the point that it is easier to get yours on your side when you put it on your side.

MamaJAM replied: We never miss a Sunday night pick up...but we often forget Wednesday.

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: we have forgotten a few times and it's awful...We overflow our giant trash can every week. THe next week we will have our giant trash can plus a few giant trash bags.
WE do however have a choice for trash service. I think there a 4 different ones just with the people who's houses I can see.

C&K*s Mommie replied: that is good that you get a choice. smile.gif It is county service if you live in the county or city service in the city. No choice in service, unless you move.

A&A'smommy replied: OMG I know what you mean Jeremiah is the trash person in our house that is the ONLY thing I absoluty will NOT do! And he didn't do it last week and now its pretty darn full! YUCK!

luvmykids replied: We have TWO cans and still barely make it to our next trash day!

kit_kats_mom replied: Uh, we have 3 cans and if we forget to take them out on Wednesday or Saturday, all three are full to overflowing and it's awful. blink.gif
