Smart idea. I was wondering how garbage pickup would play out with storm and Purim.
I suppose you realize by now that you wrote Sunday in the headline.

Why doesn’t trash pick up begin at 4 AM every morning, so as not to interfere with school bus pick up?

Is there going to be a 90 minute delay?

If the roads aren’t safe , they should have a delay. It’s rediclicous to have trash pick up at 4 am every day. Then people will complain the trucks are waking them up .

Really?

To Paul and Chaim, Let’s not forget, the trash truck drivers are also human. The should also be able have a good night sleep.

@Really, it’s called shift work. I start many of my days very early. Everyone is human but jobs come with a certain schedule.
