Even heavy zip ties wear out after a while, especially if it’s being used every week and slammed around by the workers.

One neighbor’s zip tie is intact, the other lost their lid despite the zip tie because the bin handle was cracked in half.

Plastic being thrown around in cold weather is just a stupid idea. The city needs to tell casella to upgrade the trucks and get us stupid rolling bins aleady. Enough is enough.

Also, if the city had to pay to replace destroyed bins I guarantee casella would treat them better. Passing the cost onto us negates any incentive casella might have to keep the city happy.

I’m not sure how many people are even buying new city bins to replace the ones that break because they still take old ones or virtually any other plastic bin. I still use one of those old school Worcester green ones with an open top and my friend uses a big grey bin he bought at Wal mart.
