Last word should be better not "Bert" on previous comment!

What 1st world problem that a once a week inconvenience that benefits public health is complaint-worthy.

Hi. I've complained to the alderman, the garbage collector's and seeclickfix on this issue for 5 years. I live on Clark Street and the garbage and recycle collector's come at 3, 4, 5 and 6 in the morning. They do this EVERY MORNING since my place is surrounded by restaurants and bars. After a neighbor took my story to News 8 a few years ago, the problem stopped for a bit, then it picked up again once the collector's figured the heat had died down.

For your information, there is a noise ordinance and it ends at 7am, so what the garbage collector's are doing is breaking that ordinance. The city didn't take notice of my complaints and the alderman didn't get anything done, News 8 did. People like to say 'you live in a city, you should expect it blah, blah, blah.' That's just a non-argument used by folks who don't like the pesky task of thinking.

Thanks, Clark Street resident, for the explanation. Pretty clear thinking.

The trucks are naturally noisy but the worker's yelling is not. They yell at each other so as to be heard over the truck noise. This is something that can be eliminated ......

Oh skyemoon, you aren't the boss of us.

I DO think and would rather they pick up early so that we can drive down our narrow one way street later in the morning to drive to work. They have to pick up the trash unless people would like to take their refuse to the landfill on their own. Then there would be complaints of no services...try ear plugs. That's how I block out unwanted sound and sleep

Thanks, neighbor9, but I am awake every day by 5:30 just by nature. I feel for those who are trying to sleep until a more normal waking time. Plus, I like the peace and quiet of early morning.

I heard trucks this morning at 5:01 (on State St.) and it was the city. They have a contract that overrides the ordinance. So, they will pick up when they want.

Thank you, Skyemoon for trying to end the whining.

I am sure it's an educated lot on Clark so I would think you would take responsibility for choosing such a location.
Clickfix is not a venting mechanism but one where real problems get resolved.
Your problem is something a good therapist could help you with: personal accountability for choices we make.

Thanks for fixing this issue!

This is not a blog but a place for fixable issues I.e. Street light out, potholes, to be fixed.
I am retired and have plenty of time to close issues that bog down the process. Now when I see Clickfix in email I want to delete without reading.

Stop the tantrums.

You should volunteer your time then, super retiree. I have plenty of contacts if you'd like to look into using your time productively to help humanity instead of trolling seeclickfix. Let me know!

I agree. City living can be noisy. There's always Bethany, killing worth, etc

Skyemoon, there are news sites and social media and countless other websites where you can utilize your trolling abilities. This is not the forum for harassing people.

Try Alaska

Perhaps the city could change the routes now and again. Clearly, garbage is being picked up on streets at 10 am. How about putting Bishop Street on the 10 am pick-up schedule?

Does anyone really believe that Public Works is going to acknowledge this ticket for one self-important street?

This not a Blog; pick up the phone or stop by their office on Middletown Ave and speak with a Supervisor. Too many PhDs on that street.

Be happy you are 1st so your garbage does not marinate in the heat of the Sun.

Have you tried calling or visiting Public Works office.

Very tired of these stupid alerts for this non-problem.

Ridiculous. These people really assume the city needs to rework it's refuse collection schedule to suit their sleep schedules...

Cities are noisy. Try Bethany if you crave quiet.

And +1 Skyemoon for speaking common sense to all of this privileged whining.
