smerchly Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 We have had problems in St.Kitts also Gunner . Many areas not getting it picked up ...problems with employees not showing up for work , maybe related to the hot days . They don't pay decent wages for this job ...someone has to do it . I can think of a million other places I'd work for $15-16 an hour where it's cleaner , cooler and smells nicer ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cleaned a big fish today and the carcass is simmering in the green bin with a nice load of dog $hit & rotting veggies. It should be nice and ripe by tomorrow ....if they come . I heard they are using temp. workers and they pick the time they will work . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Niagara Region has posted public notices about ongoing garbage collection problems with Emterra. We had these problems already last year. Seems the region backed the wrong horse. What a surprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a surprise The region gives jobs to the lowest bidder to do jobs the city employees once did, from roadwork to bridges ......like the new Burgoyne bridge which doubled in costs when finished . The collectors never know what to expect when picking up the trash , from tons of broken furniture , mattresses , etc. One house had at least 15 large leaf/yard waste bags today . The trucks get filled & must make another dump run .....Emturra has been fined by the city a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A week ago I had an incident with one who I felt went above and beyond what he was getting paid for! I had a brown bag out for pickup that had a lot of plant waste debris in it. When the worker lifted it up to put it n the truck, the bottom ripped out of the bag, and everything went on the road. The worker could have just left it there and driven off, but he picked up everything he could get with his gloves, then got a shovel from the truck and cleaned everything off the road!
