What the F*** Tulsa Refuse Inc?

Last April, you (Tulsa Refuse Inc.) left me note telling me my trash wasn’t close enough to the curb to be collected.  You said my trash was three-feet from the curb, when obviously it should’ve been two.  A mistake on my part.  I guess I’m the moron that didn’t realize you can’t reach my trash while sitting on your scooter.

Then in May, I was one bag over the limit.  I had seven bags of grass, instead of six.  Excuse me for causing the 21 consecutive days of rain.  If I had the foresight to create less rain, my lawn wouldn’t have been so high

Now this?  My trash is too heavy?  It’s picked up twice a week.  I do not generate 50 pounds of trash in three to four days.

I know it’s not possible to go one month without you critizicing me, but could we at least talk it out?  Aren’t these notes a little cowardly on your part?

Maybe I need a training session.  You can show me the correct way to place my trash at the curb.  Is there something beyond bag-it and drag-it that I’m not getting?

No, there isn’t.  The person on my route is probably the type of person that spends more time trying to get out of work, than actually doing work.  We all have these co-workers; the ones that pass off their work, has a story that always tops yours and has miraculously survived every known disease.

I’ll do my job and bag my trash.  You do your job and pick up bags.  How does that sound … you poopie pants.

    These jerks. I swear. Since moving to the midtown area, it has been such a hassle. Sticks arent exactly 4′ long, can is too heavy, too much, blah blah blah, I guess thats one thing to be said for living on the northside. Almost miss it.

    I don’t get notes. I pull all of my trash to the curb in my trashcan. Last week I left the pizza boxes and the newspaper balanced on top. They just leave the pizza boxes and papers in the bottom of my trashcan week after week until I “bag it”. WTF??

    The power they must feel every time they tear off another note…
    Southside has the big bins too, but the roll them to the truck and they are mechanically lifted/dumped in to the truck. They like to place mine (and only mine because I’ve checked) back in the middle of the driveway to block it. I must have the worst trash can on the block to get this kind of treatment.

    If you guys really want to get back at them, everybody get together and plan for a trash day where you save all your trash for two or three weeks. They’ll wonder what’s going on with all the empty trash cans. Then pummel them all at once with the maximum amount of bags.

    Of course, I write this with no warranty.

    Don’t put any bags of scooped up kitty litter. They’ll say it’s to stinky.

    hmm..
    they don’t take stinky trash? I thought all trash was stinky.

    I’m seeing a greased up trashcan handle in their future.

    I wonder if one could rig a trash can to be a giant jack in the box. Scare the piss out of them.

    Or go buy one of those fake body parts at a Halloween store and smear it up with fake blood and lay it prominently at the top of the can.

    I wonder if any of those could get you sued?
    Maybe just paint a giant smiley face on the side of the can. Make Mr. Trashman smile. Poor guys. Everybody dissing the trash man. He has a thankless job.

    meecitee, My trash men take my stinky trash where I live, but apparently Irritated Tulsan’s trash men are really, really picky. I didn’t even know trash men could leave written notices.
