ITS JUST TRASH

To all those people that place there trash out right before or during a major snow event and expect the trash  guys to drag your container out of the snow after the plows go by, you do not deserve to have your trash picked up.  Lets use some common sense people. Containers weigh about 40 lbs and than you add trash, times this by about 500 -1000 customers.  Would you want to be out there in the cold and wind and have to yank all those containers out of the snow.  I do not think so.  So why would you be so inconsiderate?  Shovel the snow away from the container so the driver can access it - use a little common sense! To all the people who say "I do not know why you didn't come down my road, I didn't have any trouble driving" Well are you driving a 10-18 ton truck? NO!  Until you drive a trash truck on slippery roads, you have no right to make that comment because I am sure if that truck lost control and started heading towards you, you would think different!
