Residents voiced significant concerns regarding Priority Waste during a recent government meeting, highlighting ongoing issues with waste collection services. One resident recounted a frustrating experience where their compost bins, clearly marked with new stickers, were overlooked by the waste collection team. Despite the bins being easily visible and accessible, the crew initially passed by without picking them up, prompting the resident to chase after the truck to ensure their waste was collected.
This incident reflects a broader pattern of dissatisfaction among residents regarding Priority Waste's reliability. The speaker noted that they have frequently had to intervene to ensure their waste is collected, contrasting their experiences with a previous service provider, GFO, which they found to be more dependable.
Councilwoman Constantino echoed these sentiments, indicating that she too has faced similar challenges with Priority Waste. The discussion underscores a growing frustration within the community regarding the waste management service, prompting calls for improved accountability and service reliability. The meeting concluded without immediate solutions, leaving residents eager for action to address these persistent issues.
