The only message I received was that the garbage would be picked up the following day as if Monday were a holiday and they were operating on a holiday schedule. That is the only message three of my neighbors as well. With this in mind...our garbage is sitting on top of our snow piles at the curb.

The residents of this town have a garbage fetish. You're goign to leave those unsightly bags of garbage there, to spite the city and everyone else. Birds and critters will get into the bags, the contents will spill into the street, continuing the befoulment of this filthy town, and you'll smugly think to yourself, "that'll show them." All along First Ave, Blohm St, and other streets, garbage bags and cans are sitting on top of melting snow piles now for several days. As those snowpiles melt, these bags and cans will tip over, and the residents will ignore it, because that's the city's garbage now. This is a very big problem in West Haven. It's infantile, the degree to which so many residents refuse to take ownership of the garbage they produce, and the manner (too much, too early, improperly contained, and too little recycling) in which they put it out for pick up.

And I'm with BobM....instead of leaving it there to spite the city, you should've brought them in.
