Now what do I do ?

[Nevada Ed]

Monday, July 14th, I was going fishing early, so I put out the two garbage containers out
to the curb on Sunday night at 7pm, so I could leave a little earlier.
Mondat night at 6pm, the recycle unit had still not neen emptied.
I called the Reno waste office for a pick up and was scheduled for a pick up.
July 17 thursday, the concainer is still at the curb and full.
I called the office again.
Their operator "Sky" after a long didcusion, told me that the driver logged that the container was not put out.
Sky told me that the pick up unit did not see the container on Wensday;
and that no futher pick ups will be made until next Monday.

We have three more Bithdays partys in the nexy four days, with paper, cardboard boxs and recycle material, in the future.
Any ideas on what to do? I don't have a truck.

Put the recyclables in the trash can for the next pickup. The world will not stop spinning.

Put it all in big trash bags. Then pile them out there next time too.

Put it in Amazon boxes and leave them on your porch.

Seek professional help immediately!

Did you break down/flatten the boxes? Have a kid jump up and down in it.

Maybe see if a neighbor will share some space in their recycle bin?

None of your friends own a truck? If you have two vehicles one should be a truck. They are handy to have. I help others with mine all the time.

Oddly, I am reminded of a set to I had with UPS. My parting words to the CS rep were, "Look, if your people are going to tell lies, don't make them see-through stupid ones." Guy driving the recycling truck was on the 'phone to his latest Miss Hotness and not paying attention.

The only way they can "miss" one of those bins is if some yahoo parks a truck or delivery van too close so they cannot reach it with the pick-up gadget. I had to be careful of this last year when I had contractors at the house for extended periods.

This week's fix: Stuff the excess in the regular trash.

Burn barrel?

Burn barrel?

Monster no-no in most of this state.

Put it in Amazon boxes and leave them on your porch.

Now this is funny ....really made my day !!

 

[Golphin]

Monster no-no in most of this state.

Move!

Move!

Until you've lived here, you may not realize just how easy it is to set scrub desert on fire. We have a lightning started fire up in the test ranges right now, 30,000 acres with little containment.

Put the next few days in garbage bags and take them to the dump. Then put out the bin on Monday for them to pass by again.

I would do this. I do it all the time. Then I’d threaten Waste Management with changing companies. I’ve also done this. And did you know they offer a senior discount if over 55? They don’t tell you till you threaten to drop them……… as a side note, I once called about a special pickup of a chaise lounge we were getting rid of. They wanted $45. I got my reciprocal saw out and they took it for free.
