Hard to sleep in this neighborhood because of private trash pickup noise before 7 a.m.

Why is City Hall so indifferent?

Same thing with John's Refuse. Person who answered the phone said she would "put in the request". It's not a request - you're breaking the law! Hello? City? Please make them stop. If they're worried about rush hour traffic they can collect at 8pm. Problem solved

We are closing older Trash and Recycling issues in order to focus on current ones. Many of the issues reported were resolved by our routine Trash and Recycling Services. Some of the older Trash and Recycling issues were ordinance violations which were responded to by warnings and tickets. If your particular Trash and Recycling issue was not resolved, please open up a new 2019 issue. Thanks.
