Trash in this area was supposed to be picked up on Tuesday & it is now Thursday. I understand bulk trash pick-up takes a bit longer to clean up ,but really 2 days! Everything just looks a mess & garbage is just piling up on people front lawns. Regular trash pick-up hasn't come either causing people's cans if not already overfilled to be overfilled.

If the city of West Haven is to blamed for anything, it's for tolerating this ridiculous display of excess and slovenliness. I see huge piles in front of the same houses, for each bulk trash collection, and wonder where all this trash is coming from; it was true when the pickup was monthly, and it's true now. It's common knowledge that in fact much of this trash is brought in by West Haven's abundant slumlords, who bring it in from towns with more reasonable policies about trash collection.
And for those people who think that bulk trash collection -- or any trash collection -- is "free," think (try hard) again: the city pays tipping fees; the more trash, the higher the fee. So taxpayers foot the bill. And for those of us who are frugal in our generation of waste -- I put out one small garbage can of trash every 4-6 weeks, because I recycle (I'm one of the approximately 10% of the city's residents who do...one of the lowest recycling rates in the state ... YAY WASTE HAVEN!), compost, and don't buy junk. This town is stuck in a past that it can't get out of its own way to get out of. Sad sad sad.
