Description

We live near the Papa John's Pizza on 4th Street and we are continuously woken up by their commercial dumpster pickup in the morning at roughly 6:45am, 6 days a week - several hours before the residential noise ordinance allows for such loud noises.

We have spent money to have our windows upgraded and even started sleeping with ear plugs to block the noise, and we are still violently awakened 6 days a week by this early dumpster service, which sounds (and feels) as though something is falling on our house.

We have put in several calls to both sanitation and the SPPD and nothing has been resolved. Please let us know how we can stop this from happening. Being so close a residential area, it only seems reasonable that the dumpster pickup for those businesses would have to follow residential noise ordinance limits.

We have made a SeeSlickFix post before, and it seemed that the schedule was temporarily changed to an afternoon pickup, but now they are again picking up the dumpsters from PapaJohn's and other surrounding businesses at 6:45 (or earlier!) in the morning. This is the 2nd or 3rd time that there has been a temporary change in schedule that has reverted back to the original schedule after a few months. Can someone please make this a *permanent* change? There is nothing changing about the situation that would make it acceptable to resume such loud noises during the noise ordinance restriction period.
