We have WM here in St. Clair Shores. Never had an issue on my street, though I guess some other parts of town have had problems with them spilling trash on the street and not cleaning it up.

If you don't get satisfaction directly calling them, definitely shoot a letter/e-mail/phone call to city council.

Never heard of using WM for residential unless it's for a one time thing like doing major renovations where you need one of those huge dumpsters. Doesn't the city pick it up? That's why you pay taxes. ;)

We are the largest residential collector in the country. Most cities do not have city pick-up, they contract out to private companies.

Red, PM me, I may be able to help. No promises, though.

My neighbor across the street has the same exact trash can and has never had a problem. WTF Waste Management WTF!!!?. :colbert:

/end rant

Stop paying your trash bill and give the money to your neighbor, in exchange for leaving your trash in front of their house.

Problem solved :D

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

These boards are losing their touch. You are bashing a PRIVATE company?! How dare you!? Now, go out and find a service provided by a union and bash THAT.

My word! Your gawl is appauling, jarring and unsettling at the very least.

It's a private company, but we have plenty of union workers.

Since when do private companies not have unions?
