To the editor,
Recently, the night before trash day, I put my recycle bins and my garbage can out by the curb for the next day’s pickup. About mid-mining, the recycling truck came by and emptied my bins. Since I was outside doing house chores when the truck came by, I picked up the empty recycle bins and put them back in their garage storage position.
Then, about a half-hour later, the garbage truck came down the street and passed right by my garbage can. Because there was no recycling bin in site, they assumed I did not recycle so they did not pick up my garbage, as per the town policy.
So, a word of warning to you recyclers, don’t collect your empty bins if the garbage truck hasn’t come yet. Of course, here’s a pipe dream suggestion … the Department of Public Works could schedule the routes so the that the garbage trucks picked up first. I know… forgetaboutit.
