My address is 416.5 North Lincoln Street and because the house is in the middle of the block I have been taking my trash cans to the 9th street driveway for the past year for pickup. My regular pickup day is Monday but because of the holiday it should have happened yesterday and it did not. My cans are still out on the street because I have been wondering if there is a delay due to the holiday. I do not want to be charged extra for a pickup specifically related to my house but I don't want this trash sitting in the sun for the next week and I don't understand why it was not collected yesterday.

Hi, I had a note from the sanitation crew that said my trash was too close too a vehicle (true) and had to be placed on the curb. I live at 419 S Highland Ave. The trash and recycling cans were on the sidewalk, as they always are, so I'm not sure if I'm supposed to put them closer to the street? Also, they are very close to a car because it's the only place they can be put other than the street or the driveway (which is shared) so I'm not sure what I should do. Also, my yard waste wasn't picked up at all, so I'm in a bit of a quandary. I think very highly of the folks picking up the trash and recycling and want to do whatever I can to make it as easy as possible. I'm just not sure how to do that. Please advise. Thanks very much, Deborah

I would like to file a complaint regarding whomever is picking up our trash and recycling at 422 S. Hawthorne Dr. For the past several months, the sanitation workers have become increasingly careless with throwing empty bins onto our curb, into the middle of our driveway, and even (today) in the middle of the street. While I recognize that the workers are busy, this is a health and safety hazard and we pay too much money in property taxes to receive this sort of inexcusable service. PLEASE ask sanitation workers who pick up trash and recycling on S. Hawthorne Dr. to do their jobs properly and not create more work, let alone health and safety hazards, for residents.

Last week on 8/14 after trash was collected my retaining wall had been knocked down. I'm attaching a photo.

The trash pickup at my home consistently tosses my bin into my flower bed and has destroyed my expensive perennial flowers. For years, I had private trash pickup and not once did this occur, yet every week the city trash pickup tosses my bin in my flower bed. I have to pay for a service I didn't want, didn't request--that was forced upon me--and I also have to put up with destruction of my property? A bit ridiculous. I have included a picture from last week (and have others) but this occurs nearly every week.

If you haven't yet finalized the text and layout for the 2024 Sanitation Collection Schedule, there is one improvement: Please print any solid waste pickup date exceptions in a readable font size as part of the Solid Waste & Recycling Checklist. The very fine print listed vertically on the 2023 magnet has obviously been overlooked by residents scheduled for Thursday route pickup. It would also help to have pickup exceptions listed on the website. Thank you.

Hello, your recycling website says both that plastics #1-7 are accepted and that all styrofoam is not accepted. What about #6 styrofoam? Thanks!

Trash bin is routinely not completely emptied- only half emptied today! The robot arm system is not thorough.
