The garbage guys
This is the scene every Friday in the Grove. Every week I get caught behind these guys on Tigertail or 22nd Avenue. Wish they would park one behind the other and free up one lane of traffic, but I guess the best thing to do is just pack some patience and wait. They are doing a great service.

Be happy they are there to pick up the stuff..weekly
be happy? correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought we paid taxes for that Ok, so I guess I'll put my happy hat on because they show up? I agree with Grapevine...they certainly could leave an aisle open.
I think they are a curious sight. But it might be nice if they came out earlier or at least earlier on highly traffiked routes.
Ya, they are a pain, but we love "THE CLAW," as my preschooler calls it.
Our government is berserk. In other cities they deploy these trucks NOT during the rush hour. I've been stuck countless times behind these guys. Once, one of the guys even came out, stood by his truck and drank coffee, all because I asked him to at least keep a lane open.
However, what goes around comes around. Someday, one of these guys will have an emergency... and get stuck behind some insensitive ass like himself.
THIS BOTHERS YOU, AND FREAKING SKATERS DON'T!!!!
AND ONE COULD NOT WALK THRU COCO WALK YESTERDAY, ONE OF THEM WAS 55 YEARS OLD.

Love the skaters, hate the trucks, too. You go Grape!

No need to bring his figure into this. :)

You like his waist? Wow, this blog gets stranger every day...
I wish that they would switch the pick-up date. Trash is picked up in one area of Miami on Monday, another on Tuesday, etc., and on Friday in the Grove. That means that when Grove people clean their yards on the weekend, it sits on the streets until Friday, making our area a mess. I know that its illegal, but if you report your neighbors, enforcement lets your neighbors know who reported the violation. The city would make so much money just enforcing this issue themselves. Anyway, there wouldn't be a problem if we got a Monday pick-up instead of Friday. I don't mean all the time, just alternate every so often.
If you think I'm crazy, ride through the South Grove once in a while and look at the trash piles, starting at Plymouth Church, who, for some reason, gets their trash picked up by the city too. And it usually take a whole truck for their pick up. Guess how much they pay for it. $0.
I'm in the minority here but I don't think they should landfill all that material. We should be filling paper sacks with yard waste (the big ones they sell at hardware stores) and the city should pick it up weekly and compost it. This is what we have done in other cities. It is not in the landfill and it is not okay to mix other bulky trash with plant material.
I think it is a bit byzantine to just heap yard waste and bulky trash in pits in between houses on the right of way.
It's the 21st century. I think we as citizens and the City should change our ways.
That poor guy can't spell very well. What a waist indeed - he shudda stayed in college instead of the dis-compassionate Peace Corps stint. Made him vewy, vewy self righteous. Belligerent even.
