Description

My Herbie was OUT on the sidewalk by 8am on Thursday, the 4th of July. NOTHING was in the newspaper about pick up being on Friday due to the holiday. My Herbie was NOT dumped. So I left it out on Friday, July 5, and put it on the street, as the department prefers. It was NOT picked up! Some neighbors say there was a truck out very early Thursday AM. It is totally not fair to change the pick up time that much WITHOUT notifying all of us in some way. THAT IS the city's responsibility to us, the customers. And since the Herbies are always emptied the DAY after a holiday, there was NO reason to think that would not be the plan this week. The CITY OF GALLUP is at fault here. The 4th was a HOLIDAY, so all city employees should have had that day off as usual. My Herbie is FULL, it is still on the street as its too heavy now for me to move back. I want it picked up up immediately, it cannot wait until Thursday the 11th of July. And neither can other neighbors who did not have their trash picked up. Thank you. Charlene Partington
