The recent crummy winter weather has affected more than morning commutes: it’s also affected trash pickup.
If you’re like some local residents, your trash piled up in your alley for much longer than usual recently. The Post quotes a Columbia Heights resident saying their trash wasn’t pickup up for more than two weeks, and my own seemed to sit back there for much longer than usual.
The mayor, as well as other city officials, put out an apology to residents, saying that the snow and ice made it hard for trash trucks to be able to retrieve the trash without getting stuck — in fact, on one day when they were asked to try harder, five trucks needed a tow.
Bowser promised a “blitz” while other officials said all hands will be on deck.
How about you, did your trash get picked up?
