I admit I am all about getting trash put into bags and out into the cart. I don't like it sitting around. Two weeks ago Republic Services completely forgot to pick up our streets. We are Tuesday pick-up and that week it did not come. We figured there must be a reason since the guys who do our street are very reliable, never miss, always early and friendly. So that week we just figured a truck was broken down and it would be picked up on Wednesday. But it was not. Thursday came and no pick up. It became obvious to the neighbors that we may well have been forgotten. On Friday we called twice, first me and then Dale later. We learned that others were calling as well. Finally a truck came at 4 Friday afternoon just as the Legion fish fry traffic was coming down the street.
I was glad to finally have what turned out to be almost two weeks of trash finally gone, but still wondered what happened.
Now today our trash is again sitting at the curb with no pick up. We realize the 4th of July holiday moved us all back one day. But today is that day and it is getting late. The fact that our drivers have always been very reliable makes this more worrying.
I'm stressed over this because of the heat and a worry they may make us wait til next week. For quite awhile I received texts from Republic if there was something new or a delay issue. I guess that is in the past.
Update. Finally got the trash picked up late in the afternoon. Thankful
