Trash pickup on Tuesdays is getting progressively worse. Trash is left in the middle of streets (Ten Eyck) as well as on the sidewalks. We (homeowners) more often than not, have to retrieve trash containers from next door yards. Today, I had to go two doors away to find my container.

I was on my way to work this morning and had to wait 20min while the truck driver parked in the middle of south dove street. He than pulled up next to my car to block me in on Purpose. While he taped it on his cell phone. Absolutely uncalled for in the morning! He had a space to pull his truck off to the side but just wanted to be rude.

Today at 12:40 pm I called DGS to see if staff may have turned in a set of keys. A woman picked up the phone and while I was in the middle of speaking she hung up. I called back and this woman picked up again except this time she breathed really loudly on the phone and hung up. Such a distasteful experience. I don’t quite understand how someone can operate this way at work and still manage to keep a job.

Our street was missed for trash pickup this morning, but when I called after hours a polite man answered and is sending people over to take care of the problem. Feels really good when everyone is polite and gets along
