[RP TownTalk] anyone else having their recycling bin ignored by Bates?

[Dwight Holmes]

Since my original post............
I heard back from the town (thanks, TJ), and learned - who knew? - that our
recycling is contracted by the county, not the town.  But he said he'd
relayed my complaint to the county so i did nothing further at that time.
Of course, now it's Friday, and it still hasn't been picked up.
So I just went to the county web form for requesting services, which is
here:  https://princegeorges-csrprodcwi.motorolasolutions.com/Home.mvc/Index
.   <===YOU MAY WANT TO BOOKMARK THIS
I just have to attach a screen shot of the county's form after I'd worked
my through all the drop downs - never seen anything quite like this. I have
to say, though, it seems to be accurately and efficiently laid out.
Anyway, it's Friday, our recycling bin still sits at the curb, as do a
couple of others on the block.  I just submitted this request, so we'll see
what happens.
