“More good advice here than you think if we get past some complaining. Have lived here since 1964 but work in a town where they charge. Other town also rarely on time. Think about it guys… are people who pick up leaves (govt ees or contractors) as responsible as most of us have to be in our jobs? And with us hiding limbs, etc under the leaves might, maybe their job take longer than expected in any case? And do leaves fall on schedule?
Put the leaves out per schedule. Take a picture with date to prove it. They are on time, or not. If not they will be by in a few days. Chill.
I had one issue, where construction blocked our street by chance on same date as they came to pick up. So no pickup. And everyone on street got tickets three days later for ignoring schedule. Asked neighbors when they put theirs out (all within schedule), sent list of people with dated picture to Village. Told to come down to discuss. All tickets waived for block. But if I didn’t have the dates picture…
Ask you this question tho. If they stopped picking up leaves for “free” do you really think they would correspondingly lower our taxes? Nope. So follow the schedule, be able to prove it, relax and be happy with what we have.”
