Stop bitching and clean up lol would you rather spend hundreds of dollars a month for a private company to do it and end up with the same results?

it looks like at least two un-lidded bins were put on the curb - what did you think was going to happen to their contents if they get knocked over or it gets windy?

I once watched a trash man take a bag, attempt to throw it in the back of the truck, miss, spill the bag all over the road in front of the house who’s trash he was supposed to be taking away.. then get on the back of the truck and away it went. Trash/bag all over the street. It was almost impressive how much this man did not care about his job

Send an online request to have it taken care of through the customer service form and if that doesn't work enail your councilor.

I see an area like this at the top of Vernon that looks very bad with trash everywhere. The residents just dumped the trash on the sidewalk haphazardly, DPW picks up what they can and the rest literally just sits there, at the end of the month it accumulates to the point where the sidewalk is blocked with trash and the wind blows a lot of it everywhere.

Once a month I go on the customer service form online and submit a request to have it taken care of. Sometimes it works sometimes they ignore it and then I email my councilor who takes care of it within a couple of days.

It doesn't matter how windy it is, it's just an excuse for them to cover up how bad they are.

the way people leave their recycle out is mind-boggling. light items like empty plastic jugs and hollow boxes on top. no lids or attempt to pack things in a way to weigh/secure them

picking it up is way overrated.

But posting about it to reddit helps everything

On the day of the freeze I watched a bin fly uphill at like 15mph

Was nice of them to deliver a new bin after completely demolishing my other two in less than a year. Like cracked in half type damage

I made a post on here about a year ago about the trash in Worcester. I've only lived here a little over a year but I come from a city that I felt was pretty similar to Worcester but with a higher population. The other city is nowhere near as trashy as Worcester - like it's a glaring difference. Our recycling bins were the exact same large bins with wheels and a flip top lid as our trash bins, just one was brown (trash) and one was green (recycling). Recycling only needed to be collected every other week because the bins were so big.

I loved the comments I got on my previous post though. Over 100 comments where 60% were people telling me "If you think this is bad, don't go to New York City!", 40% were people telling me if I don't like it I can clean it myself or leave, and about 10% of people agreeing. Hahaha

My favorite part about the random New York comments was that I responded to them by saying, "Yeah I don't plan on ever going to NYC." and then the other person would comment back, "Oh but you should! There's so much culture!" Haha you just told me not to go because of the immense trash everywhere...

you speak truth, but let's not pretend that careful packing is going to put a stop to full bins being literally picked up and tossed by the wind.

30mph wind gusts are not rare here. that's just a meteorological fact. i have had to comb my entire neighborhood numerous times looking for my bins because i committed the sin of being at work when they were emptied.

if the bins need to be coddled via special packing and coming home from lunch break to retrieve them from the neighbor's bushes, it's probably not a very good system for this particular city.

i continue to advocate for bags instead of bins. if bags are too stupid to get behind, then the recycling program should simply be declared a failure, because that's exactly what it is.

people have jobs, ya know. if the bins get emptied at 10am but the owner doesn't get home til 5, the bins will in fact blow away. they will blow into people's cars and onto their property. they will be stolen. they will get smashed by the wind.

the whole implementation of our recycling program is braindead. stupid suggestions by stupid people who only consider their personal experience and not the experiences of the city as a whole.

bins with lids. lol

I fully agree which is why I take to emailing my city councilor every few weeks, if other people did it too I'm sure they would get sick and tired of hearing about it and would actually move to do something.

The funny thing is that if I look up the address on Google maps, even the footage they have shows the house with trash in front of it.
