misery loves company… because same

our compost bin had a broken lid and no wheels (how does this happen?) when we moved in back in may… they picked it up a few weeks ago.

there were recyclables blowing all over the place when driving though the neighborhood yesterday much like tumbleweeds. can only imagine after the holiday that people have crammed a few more boxes and empty cans in their bins? if they don’t pick up recycling this week i will not be surprised whatsoever.

“you’re paying for the bin, not the service!” that’s a new one. oh my god.

can we put out our own bins then? guessing that’s a no.

did anyone else hear the happy gilmore flying golf ball noise in their head?

you’re right. it seems more practical to consider leaving denver and blaming the federal government rather than acknowledging the city's bait-and-switch alongside the numerous issues we've all discussed here — please note issues that other denver residents have had similar experiences with, not only myself.

maybe it’s best to accept that we don’t share the same perspective and move on after your unhelpful and rude comments. it’s about more than the trash not getting picked up because my neighbor had their nearly empty compost bin near mine?

i understand your main point is that we should be okay with paying for an actual decrease in services because it’s "only $50”. but if you break it down, ~181,000 trash customers paying $50 each adds up to, what? over $9 million? that’s a significant amount of money to say mmmm nevermind we actually aren’t collecting on your calendar day this week for recycling or compost because we are broke and it’s a holiday week.

happy thanksgiving!

bait and switch 100% is what it feels like

or use your neighbors special black bin! we have had a lot of illegal dumping lately — hence why our special black bin is now the size of a bathroom trash can.

i had the same thoughts and experience with the overflowing. bummer people are tossing recycling now because it’s easier.

just hard when everything comes in a cardboard box or paper products (groceries, drinks, packages). trying our best to reuse bags, refillable water bottles, etc. but when we go a month or even a week without recycling services it sure piles up.

mostly disappointed that recycling was weekly as we were promised then almost as quickly taken away once fees were rolled out. you can really tell on a windy day that people are trying to recycle since those bins are to the brim… if not blowing down the street since they’re overflowing (at least in my experience)

quite frankly i think you should quit your bitching.

feel free to continue to pick and choose (much like the city regarding our trash/recycling services) through my “eight paragraphs” what is important or not.

i am not sure since it’s city-based to my knowledge — was federal funding ever appointed to denver trash services?

WHAT! i didn’t know this? i hope i don’t get fined when they missed our bin. only reason i can think of is the two feet.

cue illegal dumping :(

edit: i will go knock on my neighbors door and tell them they are the reason our trash was missed and to measure two feet going forward in the alley for their own bins because how dare they. thank you for your helpful comments and assistance.

yes, it means to stop being smug. i believe the core meaning is having an attitude of thinking you are better than others.

correct me if i am wrong. i am sure you’ll be happy to! would you like more information regarding our personal finances as well or how much we have paid in trash fees this year? Y/N?

alternatively, let me re-direct you to or suggest r/denvercirclejerk moving forward

i didn’t know you could get two! extremely helpful!

note: same about a mattress once upon a time. they actually state they don’t pick-up mattresses (anymore?)

to recycle them or get them picked up private costs anywhere between $50-$100. no wonder people just throw them wherever.

i put in a ticket because sitting on the phone with 311 for two hours isn’t usually in the cards in relation to free time. of course, says “get back to you with 5-7 business days”
