We see that the village is out spraying roads, pretreatment of roads. How’s that material working out? Is it really helping from what we hear it’s destroying roads underneath people’s cars
So many people love, curbside, isn’t it funny when the weather is bad sanitation can go to the curb like every other item that gets picked up at the curb, recycling, yard waste, leaves, cleanup, wooden brush, interesting right.
task work contract specifies rear year pickup.
And a few days later, even more snow! And then more next week!
The weather is making up for a warm fall.
All I can say is load them up. And keep those cans at the end of the driveway, because it’s gonna be snowy icy messy for the next week oh yes.
Just bring it to the end of the driveway and stop your nonsense. If not, we’re gonna have an extremely high amount of workers comp claims. And then lawsuits.
And then the sanitation department will be short on staff.
Bringing it to the curb today worked out extremely well. It was efficient and safe. No problems. Get ready to do it again next week oh yes.
