recycling in a trash can next to all the other recycling, paper bags and
such. And this was the third week they didn't pick it up (it was getting
full). Luckily, at 7:20 or so I heard the recycling truck and got out of
bed, ran outside and saw they had not picked it up. They were a few houses
down and I pulled the recycling over and told they missed this one for the third
week in a row. One guy apologized, the other, who was responsible, didn't
say anything. 29th and Calvert.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Assistance with recycling<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I have family in Charles Village and for the 3rd time now
the recycling trucks have left the very large paper
bag behind. The bag--which positively cannot
be missed--had been placed in the corner of 33rd and Guilford, where
the city used to pick it up. <BR><BR>After the second time the bag
was left behind, I called 311. I went a couple of rounds with the operator
who told me that the bag needed to be placed in the alley, adding that
since <BR>the 1-1 change, all recycling was to be placed in the same place
as the regular trash. <BR><BR>The city managed to respond and pick up
the bag of recycling the second time--I am sure only because I told them I
would call Mary Pat's office, and Channel 2. <BR><BR>Lo and
behold, it was left behind just last week, once again.<BR><BR>Is it that
difficult for city employees to grab a bag that is clearly filled with
recycling and take it? <BR><BR>Someone kindly offer some advise that will
make this seemingly very simple task even more simple--we are committed
to easing the devastation to the environment, but the employees of "Charm
City" are not making it easy. <BR><BR>Thanks so
much. <BR> <BR>Haydee M. Rodriguez <BR><BR></BODY></HTML>
