They try to pick up the debre left by the garbage. & very nice workers
Dump drivers do not take a job to dump here if you don't want to spent your day here, they aren't ready!
My family and I moved into a new neighborhood in January, we have a large yard and I very soon Noticed that the yard waste truck was not picking up my pile. So after talking to several people at waste management I was instructed to put the piles and small piles that a man would be able to pick up in one arm full. After several attempts I finally got the yard waste truck to come to my house and I had the gentleman show me what size the pile should be. Now here we are again they did not pick up my piles so I waited for the truck to come up the other side of the road , And when I ask them why they did not pick up my piles they said because they do not pick up piles. That needs to be one big pile, which was not what I was told just two months before. And they still didn’t pick up my piles. When I call the office again they told me that I would have to call out a claw truck for any piles that do not fit into a trashcan.
So now I am going to go to the rest of my neighborhood and let them know that we are all going to have to call the claw truck out here every time a rain storm comes through because you see there are so many palm trees and those big leaves do not fit in a trashcan so I guess we will be seeing the claw truck quite often .
I think that it’s terrible that we do not have a choice in service because looking at the reviews across-the-board if there was an option they would lose over half of their customer base.
I sat on my porch in Okeechobee County @ 6:20 Am, Friday, November 19, 2021, and watched as the waste vehicle hit my trash can, sending garbage down the highway in the swale. The passenger got out of the truck, picked the bag up and shook it to expel the contents that had not been released upon impact. He then ran back to the truck laughing all the way. They drove a few yards further and turned around, getting a great look at the mess they made. I called to report the incident and all Mike Lowe was going to do was, "Speak to the driver". I don't know why I should have to pay $220 annually for a service for which I have no use. No trash cans will ever be placed curbside for county pickup!
Yesterday, my husband and I went to the Okeechobee location to purchase compost. The attitude of every employee was amazing! From the lady in the office, to the scale monitors, to the gentleman that loaded our trailer, absolutely helpful, informative, and pleasant. I want everyone to know what a great experience it was, and encourage more people to utilize this incredible resource.
