Anyone on OT deal with this before? Solution?

Summary: Left bulky trash out on curb; today's bulky trash pickup; trash truck just didn't bother to pick it up; All the neighbors trash was picked up.

Wood... Fence boards and fence posts. Cut into <5-ft pieces. I heard they don't take trash longer than six foot.

Put that shite in your truck and dump it

We don't allow people to put trash like that on the street

311.brla.gov

You can out in a request for service there. They have missed mine before and when I submitted a ticket it was picked up same say or next day. They also have an app RedStick311.

Maybe the truck was full and they'll be back. It's still early.

Maybe they thought it was your personal belongings.

Thanks. Hoping for a direct line, but I'll write a ticket and see where it goes.

I was thinking about calling Sharon and Bodi. Whomever gets the job done gets my vote!

I don't think they pick up construction waste with curbside pickup - they may have thought that's what it was.

They probably took note of it and will pick it up later. I've had them skip me once on "bulky trash" day but i just left that crap on the street. Several days later (or maybe it was the next Thursday) them picked it up.

Had this happen a couple of weeks ago. Called the City, asked why they didn't pick up my trash, they told me to call the company that picks it up. Called them asked why, put in a request for service.

Then I realized I put my trash out a day early...

Do you mean at a bar, or because you got busted driving home after being at a bar?

Put it in the middle of the damn street and anonymously complain about the trash in the street. Act like you are concerned and that its a safety hazard.

Call 311 and report it. I've done that and they come the next day and pick it up.
