Instead of talking to someone who could fix your issue, you decided to post on reddit. What do you expect to happen? Did you just want to vent?

Why isn't calling the dpw and talking to them kindly and calmly a good option? Instead you're saying why don't they fix this problem while never expressing your issue to people who can address it.

I think everyone assumes their service is what the rest of the city gets. I get decent service but I also understand there's areas that don't. It's a driver dependent issue not citywide. I also wouldn't assume that there's a large group who want to be garbage collectors. It's good pay for hard labor. The hard labor scares people away.
