This is the third time I have to call this guy and give him an earful for compacting the trash truck at the foot of my driveway leaving a huge puddle of garbage juice and food remnants. It fricking stinks and of course my dog tries to roll around in it. My son rides his bike and hoverboard thing right there all the time. Pisses me off to no end. Last time I called this guy he said that’s just what happens when they crush garbage. I asked him to at least move down a bit (where there are no houses) but it seems he’s forgotten or doesn’t give a shite. Now I’ve had garbage service for 20 years and this is the first time I’ve ever had to deal with this. And I don’t know if this actually how it works and I’ve been lucky up until now not to have it done right in front of my house or this guy is full of shite. Also seems like this would possibly violate some ordinance or law, but the guy is his own company and I’m not calling the parish to complain about this and possibly get the guy fined. I don’t want him to get hit with financial issues, I just don’t want fricking garbage juice in front of my house. So I’m calling him today to either cancel or give him one more chance to crush his shite elsewhere. Advice?

Did it at my old house a couple times, the second time something squished outta there that was putrid, greazy, sticky and impossible to get off the road.

Eventually time, sun, wind, and about 4 gallons of bleach got it down to just a stain on the concrete.

My issue is they keep crushing my bin. I don’t see them crushing my neighbors bins, but mine gets destroyed regularly. Not sure what I’ve done to offend them. Maybe I don’t generate enough garbage to give it structural integrity when it gets pinched.

Good! Because you know who really owns the company & the industry, right?

crushed mine and neighbors...
driver said they have to adjust the arms...
called in and got a new one...
it's not made as good as the original...

side arms sometimes have to be adjusted.
It happens especially after a service on the side arm.

You know he is going to do it on purpose now, right?
