I went to ur sanitation dept at ashbourne and State road first jyst to get a recycle bin, rught from the start when i pulled up to the hut I was treated rudely, by the man and lady sitting there. I went to give them my pa license and started asking my car information, I asked y I have my Id. Sge said cuz I said , I said I never heard of this and calling city hall, the lady rolled her eyes and she and the other staff members said GO AHEAD!! I left and called and was informed all I needed was my State ID. All this rudeness just for a bin! I went to the sanitation dept on the 30hundred of delaware ave, they were very polite only asked for my Id put the bin in my car. Very nice people. Someone needs to talk to the employees in State rd sanitation and tell them not to treat people like dogs!!

BEYOND RUDE CUSTOMER SERVICE AS YOU ENTER! I asked if I just need a recycling bin where do I go? He said well you need your driver's license then you can grab one go over there. I parked up , handed my driver's license for review and he stared at me and said "well do you want the license back?" This is the rudest front line service I have ever received. Not surprising but rediculous.

For the people that do not know, here is what you can put in front of your own house. 8 bags of trash. No more than for cans and a maximum of 2 pieces of furniture. Furniture being couches, chairs, beds etc. For the safety of the trash collector, they ask that you wrap the beds or couches (anything with cloth) in plastic. The reason is for bed bugs, fleas, ticks or Scabies. I hope this was helpful for you.
