Reply to comment by Longjumping-Ice-8814 in What trash services do you use and why? Anything better than Republic services? by widowtothesoul

I've had the same issues with MTS as asssshhhhleyyyy. I absolutely want to support locally owned businesses and have no problem with missing out on amenities that the corporate trash services provide, but we've had MULTIPLE times where they just don't pick up our trash that week. That's not a "they're not for everyone" issue. I mean, that's the primary service they provide! At least update the FB page when the schedule is off. Almost all small, family-run businesses do that.

I’ve never had them skip other than a weather day or a holiday. And we try really hard to RRR ♻️, so we always have extra space in our bins if they have to skip a week. Sure, most small businesses cater to you and never miss, but not all are able. If my husband and I and maybe my sis in law were running a growing small business, I’d hope that my patrons would be understanding especially when I was in a growth spurt. I think they’re great. I don’t understand the whole need for perfection thing. As long as there is an effort to be the most affordable and I’m not being put out, we’re good. I would still recommend them to anyone I know.
