Frequently, they'll pick up most of our bags but not all of them, forcing me to pick up those bags later. The bags are tied up, they don't have holes, I don't have more out than my neighbors... they just don't get taken.

I've tried moving where I put my garbage, positioning it for greater visibility and access. No luck. I've tried cutting down on what I put out, only putting out exactly what fits in my cans. Today they emptied one can, took the top bag out of the second... and left the rest of the bags in there. They have emptied that can before, and the bags weren't any heavier than usual.

And this isn't some problem epidemic up and down our block. As near as I can tell it's just us. I'm seriously starting to think this is some sort of weird personal grudge.

(And this is on top of the other problem which is that sometimes they'll pick up all the trash at 12:01am, and other times they'll let it sit out there until 5pm.

one time our garbage guys didn't pick up ANYTHING for 3 weeks.
i called to complain every time, just got an "i'm sorry." but it kept happening. finally my dad saw them over the hill at the neighbors & dragged the cans out in the middle of the road, the driver stopped to pick them up and apologized to my dad saying he was new.
