    Every time I see schedules posted it makes me laugh, because these clowns pick up trash whenever they feel like it regardless of ANY schedule. My trash is still sitting in my yard from Monday night(we are told to put it out the night before)… It really annoys me when I come home and stinking trash is still sitting there.

    But, it is Bermuda and we have to learn to deal with people doing what they want.
    Oh yes, but I shouldnt be commenting negatively about anything of which I am not satisfied in Bermuda….

    Funny cause we got a letter from government telling us not to put it out the night before.

  3. Sad Truth says:

    so why are we collecting from the west end 2 days in a row – wouldn’t it make more sense to stagger the collections – perhaps East End on Tuesday/Thursday and West End on Wednesday/Friday .. is it so hard to be sensible in this country?? (oh sorry, there’s that negativity again – lol)

    • only the truth says:

      Kind of makes too much sense doesn’t it ?

      Should be West/ Tue and Thurs
      East / Wed and Fri

      What the hell is the point of having 2 back to back collection days ? ?

      And why have I not seen any garbage collection at the west end yet today and it’s past their knock off time ?

      And is it really true that about 50% of the trash trucks are broken down on the days that there is collection ? (That tid bit came from a trash collector about a week ago)

      • Family Man says:

        Schedules are designed for the workers, NOT for the customers.

    We have a 50% chance of this being true as my Tuesday pick up is now on Wed. about 50% of the time. My advice would be to put your trash in a trash can so the birds, cats, and chickens can’t get to it if it sits for a couple of days.

  5. Clarke Jones says:

    Would it not be more feasible to collect the West on Tuesday and Thursday and the East on Wedneday and Friday. Why collect the West on two consecetive days.
