The garbage company stopped harassing me with BS warnings.
Waste Management tried that same shit on me.

These are some really valid points. What if a neighbor places their bins close to yours and the trash company can’t determine whose bin is which?
And some neighbors in this world think it’s appropriate to top of another neighbor’s bin if it’s not completely full. Even if their neighbor objects.
And the company should always default to giving the benefit of the doubt to their customers, especially when they call to contest a penalty.
