Last summer, we had a similar issue with our trash sitting out for days, and it was frustrating. After waiting for a week, I decided to look for other options.
I found this service called https://itspurgepros.com/ , and they were super helpful. I called them up, and they came out the next day to clear everything. They were friendly and really quick about it. Now, whenever we have a big clean-out or if trash piles up, I just give them a shout. It takes a load off my mind, especially when the regular service drops the ball.

Has anyone heard any updates on whether they’re actually addressing these delays? It feels like there should be more accountability here.
