LarryUK Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I live in Birmingham,UK. I find that the rubbish collection is getting worse. The recycling after Christmas wasn't done and the streets are strewn with paper. But if you go to an upmarket area. ie, Barnt Green. The streets are spotless. I watch them sometimes and the empty the recycling boxes ans just throw them on the pavement, breaking them. They get good money over here for it and no pride in the job is shown. The council is hopeless too. I reported a dangerous slab outside my house last August and It's still not been repaired. Do you have problems in the US etc?| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Allen Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 No problems here in Cleveland, TN. I don't use the city governments trash pickup, I pay a company to pickup. It's cheap, and they do a great job. The collectors are polite and always put my bins back the exact way they found them. Capitalism works, cause I was using another company, bigger, paying more and getting worse service. So, I changed. Took my money elsewhere. That's how it should work!
