Trash Men

The street's trash day is Friday, which is today. Unfortunately, two huge ONG vehicles parked in front of a neighbor doing some very strange work. They obviously knew it was trash day with all the cans or bins (whatever they are called) placed out near the curb. The neighbor have two of them and they placed it out on the curb. Well, these bastards did not pull the bins out on the street for easy access for the trash man. And it gets worse! The trash man drove by on the street skipping that house!!! Lazy bastard not willing to step out of his truck to pull these bins onto the street so he can easily access with his truck's grip machine.

The neighbor left both of the trash containers out by the curb and I guess they blew up at the city management for what had happened. I wonder if the trash man will return to pick up or sit around sniffing trash until next week.

What is wrong with these trash men?!

"lazy bastard" funny way to describe someone who goes to work every day, coming from someone who doesnt have a job....

Well, why don't you start asking for applications and turn them all in? Plenty of places hiring all around.

yeah but it's gettin' trashier.

OK well first off, it's the resident's responsbility to ensure that their bins are accessible. Remember, the driver doesn't exit his vehicle to put up the bin, so if his vehicle can't access the bin, he skips you.

The post office does the same thing. If the mailperson can't get to your mailbox (ie a car parked in front of it), they skip you. No, they aren't going to get out of their vehicle and give you special treatment.

The person that had their house skipped should be arguing with ONG, not the city. You can always request an extra pickup anyway. Yes, you'll pay for it, but can you really not manage to go one more week?

Name calling doesn't help resolve the situation either. And if you saw a problem with the ONG trucks blocking your neighbor's bins, why didn't you go out and talk to the ONG folks or move the bins to help out your neighbor? Last time that sort of thing happened to me, my neighbor moved his car knowing it was trash day and moved it back after the pickup. If effort wasn't made to correct the problem, then there really can't be any complaining done. Just whining doesn't resolve anything.

hello all..............new member, 1st post
mwc used to allow up to 5 trash bags besides the cart, IIRC (last year) they did away with the extra bag pick up, other than reading a notice in my city service bill i never heard anything about why they changed


about the ONG trucks..............i got a letter in the mail stating that they(ong) were in the process of installing new automated reading meters in the mwc area

Welcome T-Rex!
Teh trash change was to prepare for the new automated trucks. Eventually, when all the conversions of trash tubs and trucks is finished, the pick up will be fully automated and manpower reduced. They are doing it partially on our route now. We pay an extra $5 for an extra trash tub, so we don't have to worry about overflow. I've seen the neighbors sneak things in on trash day and told them they don't have to sneak.

We had our ONG reader installed last week. The contractors are fast, professional and very polite. They wear a uniform and have ID badges. This will save readers having to walk through yards and, hopefully, help keep our bills from rising more. (yeah, right)

Hopefully they get that done across the metro soon. I don't particularly enjoy them climbing my locked gate to get into my yard. Seems like ONG should have figured out a way to not have the meter in the back like OG&E did. Yes, it means more line being run for it to go somewhere like the side of the house. That would, of course, also mean ONG would have been responsible for the line up TO the house like they are up to the METER now. That's really how it should have been though...delivery to the HOUSE...damn crapfaces have avoided a lot of responsibility that way.

Bomber, I think it may depend on location...My ONG meter is in the front yard, as are all my neighbors.
