I am not eligible for trash collection at Compatible Computers because I am commercial. I can hire a dumpster, or take my trash home in a garbage bag. I don’t have much trash anyway, just a lot of paper.
So when someone moved out of a house on one side of me and their trash was piled in my parking lot that proposed a problem. I was here early and moved some of the stuff around at 6 AM to get it closer to the road so it would all be taken.
Seven garbage containers on this side of the street, the entire block, were evidently full, with the top not fully closed. So I assumed the driver would return. But no such luck.
did not list the number so I had to call. The person who answered, should have taken a name, gave me the number, 860-489-2232 told me to call Reliable Refuse of Winsted, CT at 860-379-1662. I don’t think they have a web site.
Talked to Steve who told me the driver had gone home for the day and he would try to get someone to come back, but if not they would get it very very early the following morning. So I waited until the following morning.
Still the seven cans were full the following morning, so I called Reliable Refuse again. Spoke to Steve again who told me that “the landlord” had called and said that I had filled the trash cans and so now this is commercial refuse and they won’t touch it.
So I hit the roof and Steve hung up the phone, so I called back and asked to speak to Steve’s supervisor. Robert, the dispatcher, said the supervisor was not available but how could he help. He said he heard the frustration. I said no one on the street got their trash picked up, and Steve accused me of filling 7 trash cans based on the comment of someone who identified herself as “the landlord”. Name? Address? There are seven full cans, which one is she the landlord to?
I am the only one on the street who cares if there is trash in the front of the houses. I put trash in cans that were already full, not my trash, but who will clean up? Finally Robert said he would send someone to take the trash.
