Trash Pick Up in Pitcairn
Tags:
Has anyone been experiencing problems with trash pick up in Pitcairn? Particularly on the Hill section. The past 3-4 weeks, the trash collectors have passed by my trash leaving it there. I have been following all the "rules" for trash pick up. This week they picked up some of the neighborhood but not all. In my case taking one can and leaving the other. Across the street they picked up one can of three, across the alley they picked up uncanned trash. It seems that since the trash collection was changed to two days a week, it has been screwed up. Today I called Waste Management, they told me it was because WE are putting out trash that is not acceptable. The collectors haven't moved my cans, how could they possibly know what is acceptable and what is not?
I have also made complaint with the Borough Office, They have told me that it will be picked up the following day, which they have picked it up. But why should they have to come around the next day if they would not just pass it up the day it's supposed to be picked up.

I moved to Pitcairn form Monroeville almost 2 years ago, and the difference between the two with trash pick up is amazing. I noticed that they WILL NOT pick up your cans if they see anything that is not bagged. I have not had a problem for a while now. We are an alley pickup(like most), and we do have 2-3 cans along with numerous lawn and leaf bags. Also, they will not take your trash if you do not have yard clippings in lawn and leaf bags. They are very picky. They also tend to be very messy when picking up our trash allowing trash to fall all over the driveway and alley. Pick up days I have to clean up after the collectors. I honestly do not see the big deal! Pitcairn is not that big or that far from the dump. SO why so may problems?
