those equipment problems are related to not being able to pay for said equipment...or maintain the equipment they have.

I've had to call Feher Rubbish for a week straight on multiple occasions to have my trash and/or recycling picked up. This week I had it and switched service. When doing so I was told to leave my can and bins in front of the house for "up to 2 business weeks" for them to come and collect them. I had better not get a bill from the city. This company is horrible. They raise rates, pick up less and force their customers to hound them to provide the service we are paying for. All with no discounts and a unprofessional attitude.
The city should fine them for trash cans being left out. If homeowners can be fined for leaving them out then the trash company should be fined for late pick up.

Pickup was on time this past week.
