Today was recycling pick up day.

This is a disgrace. I pay way too much in property taxes to walk out my front door and see this, have to stop what I'm doing to clean this up, and get ready for next week when I have to do it all over again. I can assure you that I did not leave the cans thrown all over the yard prior to the crew coming.

I am very disappointed and I'm sure there are others in this town that feel the same way.
Come on People, really?

What even worse is the schedule.

Different pick-up zones, different days for garbage and recycling, different days for different recyclable materials.

I thought doing your own taxes was hard. Putting our recycling and garbage in Cornwall practically requires a PhD.

Good thing you don't live on Route 32. The cans end up blowing into traffic and you have to replace or find it in the stream. I think wildlife help mess with the containers

Another issue is that the workers are off Federal holidays and usually this falls on a Monday. Well Mondays & Thursday is regular trash pick-up and no one comes around on Tuesday. I usually have to dispose of the trash myself. Right now my plastics are overflowing too because it was not picked up last week for some reason.

I have found Bob Conley's office very helpful to deal with and very easy to get in touch with. I would recommend that.
