Trash Pickup with our New System is Impressive: We had our first pickup today. I found this big (96 gallon) can easy to take up our rather steep driveway, position it with the lid facing the street (wheels in the back), ensure it was within one foot of the street, and at least four feet away from any permanent “structures” on either side. I could also easily return it to our garage after it was emptied. I must admit I was a little concerned when I went to “test drive” the one the POA had in its lobby several months ago. That can had something akin to a dry concrete mix bag in the bottom – making it quite heavy and extremely difficult to get it on its wheels. I was certain I would have issues – but I did not! Also, I was certain the can would get dumped over when the truck set it down. But, it did not tip over! Hope you enjoy my video!

Public works had to come back today after running yesterday because my can was still half full. Not sure what the problem was…..

I was not so favorably impressed. My can was still completely full when the driver left our house.
Fortunately, I was watching as he squeezed the sides of our container, with the lifting arm, so hard that they collapsed in on our garbage bags, and they were unable to fall out when it was turned upside down – twice.
Luckily, I caught up with the driver before he left the neighborhood, and he was able to successfully empty the can on the third try.
It appeared that more training was needed before the system was implemented.

I’m sure the drivers are still in the “learning curve” and once they make the necessary adjustments everything will go smoothly.

I agree. As with anything, it takes time to smooth out the kinks. I will say that the staff is working very hard to get this implemented.

I thank the POA employees who scraped our road on Friday and those who came in on Saturday to pick up our trash. You’re the best!
