Garbage trucks
Do you know if your city still has real live human beings dumping your bins into the garbage truck? My city has trucks with a giant motorized arm that picks up the cans, dumps 3/4 of what's in the can into the truck, the rest goes on the street, and they destroy tree branches on the way down and up. I got behind one on my way to work this morning and it pissed me off. There was garbage strewn all over the street and somebody's crepe myrtle looked like it had been raped. And it didn't set the can back upright. I'm assuming that most cities use these types of garbage trucks, but was just wondering if that's the case where you live? And if it is, do they suck as bad as my city's? I have to think that if it were real people dumping the cans, like it used to be, the job would be done properly. And maybe some people looking for work could find work. ::steps off soapbox::

It was just extremely loud and obnoxious.

Recycling is still guys tossing the bins into a truck.

You could call the city and let them know that they are making a mess.
[QUOTE]Real live people which is good because I don't have garbage bins. I just leave the bags on the curb. Mainly because of wind. I've actually lost garbage cans before because the wind can get so strong.

Yeah, that's another problem with the automated system. FI and I raked up a bunch of leaves, dead limbs, etc., out of the yard, and they wouldn't fit into the can, so we set them next to the can. Where they did not get picked up.

[QUOTE]Columbus is automated but the township I live in is real life guys - that I have to pay a crap ton of money to each month just to pick it up. My trash cans are always on their side and in the street (so there goes your theory that it'd be done right)

In my nightborhood it's still real people but they have a lifter on the back of the truck so they don't have to pull all the bags out of the can themselves.

Planning!.....Married!
Garbage bags go onto the street as is, no can, just the bag, so I imagine a real live person picks it up.

Mrs & ZOMG we built a howse!

The garbage trucks here have real guys driving them (lol, obviously) but they haven't had men hanging off the ends of them for... well, as long as I can remember. They've been the mobilised type for at least the last 15 years, and probably longer. I can't actually recall ever seeing anything different. Like Mocha, we have only the very rarest of issue with trash ending up on the road (like, perhaps you'll have a bit of paper or something that lands there, but nothing major).
That said, we don't have 'cans' either, we have big plastic rubbish bins which are council supplied. The one with the yellow lid is recycling and the green is regular. We call them 'wheelie bins' (probably because they have wheels! haha).
