It had been 3 weeks since I've had recycle pickup. I had five trash bags and one large bin full of the stuff. And that's not counting the stuff inside my house that I hadn't bagged yet.
They announced on T.V. and in the newspaper on Monday this week that recycle would be picked up according to schedule. It wasn't. However, at 9 this morning, one day later, the truck finally came by. He took all the bags -- thankfully! -- that were placed in front of the recycle bin, and also emptied the bin itself. He left the trash.
We're still not sure when regular pick-ups will commence. Mayor Dellums is "cautiously optimistic." However, in the 5 hours of talking yesterday, nothing moved.
In the meantime, trash and recycles still pile up in the areas of Oakland the replacement workers fear to tread.
