Seems to me everyone’s concerns is about trash pick up.Tuesday is regular trash day if you put out by the road they will pick it up if you separate your piles already just not huge mountains.
It’s all irrelevant anyway. All for show, and of course, the citations. Everyone always applauds FWC, ECSO, etc. for enforcing all the “laws” which i suppose is good. The primary motivation however, a revenue source.
I picked up a couple on the river who’s small boat capsized. When dropping them at the landing, FWC jumps out the bushes and tickets me for not having enough life jackets. Tried to fight in court showing the dangers of a high river level. Ultimately had to pay. Guess next time i’ll have to say, “Sorry, don’t have enough life vests.”
Can we get one in BEULAH.
Gman, it cost money to pick up and dispose of trash. That’s why it’s not free once a month
Linda is correct. They missed Wishbone Road and Wishbone lane. We spent over an hour on hold with Code Enforcement and no one would pick up. We were told code enforcement was in charge by ECUA. Maybe some one will read this that knows who to call
This was a joke. They left their own bags of garbage dumped half in the gutter and on the road side of my street. They hardly picked up anything. It looks more like they went through people’s trash piles and selected what if anything to take away. And where was the notice that this was going to take place? I didn’t know about it until I saw the trucks roll through.
“There were no arrests reported”.
Wow. We’ve come along way since TAC was disbanded.
They must have forgotten Wishbone Rd here in Cottage Hill, my debris is still here in front of my house. All my neighbors stuff too.
Don t understand why the county does not have a free pick once a month in every neighborhood for any trash placed for pick up. I’m sure the 20 tons of debris was just the tip of the ice berg.
