I live in a "Single Hauler" municipality. If you take a drive through the residentail neighborhoods on any early trash day morning you will see trash cans at least 3 or 4 feet into the streets. You can try complaining to the municipality and the company, but they are locked into a long term contract so nothing is ever done. The trash collection just isn't a priority.
I dream of being able to call my trash company and fire them for their lack of customer service, only to awaken to realize I have no choice but to live with it.
Personally, we don't eat a lot of packaged foods, so I rarely have more than 1/2 to 1 can of garbage. Sure would be nice to pay a lesser rate than others who have 2 to 4 times what I have. Then I realize I have no choice but to live with it.
Our municipal ordinances have decimal limits up until 7 am, but those exceptions don't apply to municipal hired firms. Guess who shows up at 5am with their beeping backup noises. (insert line here about firing my trash company from above).
When the trash hauler doesn't show up 3 to 4 times a year, I'd like to call them and get a discount since they broke the contract, or fire them, but then I realize I have no choice but to live with it.
