I am so pissed at these assholes right now. It's been 20 days since they last picked up my trash. They have rescheduled my pickup day 4 times. I keep getting up at 5 to bring my trash to the curb, then they don't show up and I drag it back to the house at the end of the day. My neighbor asked me if I wasn't paying my garbage bill, it's embarrassing!

They will give you credit off your bill if you complain, so that's nice at least.

I suspect with the recent spike in covid and the flu and seasonal colds they really do have a driver shortage. Still, this is totally unacceptable.

I'm switching as soon as I do the research to find a suitable alternative.

Did you even read this comment before wholesale disagreeing with it?? He went on to mention more secure bike storage in the same exact sentence you're responding to, but you conveniently ignored that piece

Worcester police investigate shooting on Burncoat Street Mike Elfland Telegram & Gazette

WORCESTER - Police are investigating a shooting on Burncoat Street Monday morning.

One person is being treated for gunshot wounds, police said.

The shooting, at 480 Burncoat St., was reported about 8:40 a.m.

Schools in the area, including Quinsigamond Community College, were put on lockdown for more than an hour after the shooting.

The college, on West Boylston Street, eventually announced that all day classes were canceled.

At midmorning, yellow police tape bordered the single-family house at 480 Burncoat St. Police officers kept watch on the property.

"At this time, we do not believe there is a threat to the public," police wrote on social media.
