I’m sure they have a plan. They knew for a month or more this was coming. I’d say your trash will be gone by Thursday.

city hall.

But last Tuesday's trash was finally picked up on Friday, and Saturday's trash was picked up on Monday morning, so.... let's see what this week brings!

Enjoy your trash mountain.

I’m sure you can find a truck and landfill in the tri-state area if you were motivated enough. Only so much I can do here on my end for your trash problem.

So ... they're supposed to get it off the sidewalk and hold it for the next pickup, am I right?

trash wasn't picked up last week either. (There were protests at City Hall and Gracie Mansion last week, but it happens.)

But this week wasn't the start of it. And it happens in some underfunded neighborhoods a lot more than it does in North BK.

in park slope.

They were protesting last week and we will see what happens this week. I hope the city figures it out and fires the jerks, though.
