Just wait till the cities start operating grocery stores...
that’s how they used to do it in rural areas, usually without the barrel ...
When my garbage backs up, I take a little time off and take it to the dump myself. $15-20 in most locales. Backcharge the trash company for fuel and dump fees.
If I were mayor, I’d tell them to pick up their own damn trash and take it to the dump. The days of a babysitting government are over.
[[ and what do I do with my garbage now?]]
Drop it off at city hall?
Drop it off at Mayor Cherelle Parker's home. The more the merrier.
Find the union headquarters.
Garbage can go there to get if off the streets where the union members left it alone, and the garbage will be right at home with the Leftists there. Cozy.
Not Philadelphia but NYC for Neil Simon’s The Out of Towners (Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis, 1970):
“The city’s subway and bus drivers, taxicab drivers, and sanitation workers are all on strike. Making their way the eight long city blocks to the Waldorf-Astoria on foot past tons of garbage in a torrential downpour, they discover upon arrival at the hotel their reservation, guaranteed,...—has been given away, and the hotel, like every other one in the city, is booked to capacity due to the strikes.”
all of them should have been fired and replaced
I have the freedom to do that if I so choose here in Louisiana . I burn all the fallen branches/yard raking’s/cardboard etc...I have woods on three sides of my home , there is always enough for 5-7 burns per year. I feel bad for those who by law can’t burn.
At our house where we lived for over four decades, I had a Ford F-250 and six garbage cans. I loaded them, filled the rest of the back with recycles, and went to the dump.
“When will Philadelphia trash pickup resume after strike deal reached, and what do I do with my garbage now?”
Maybe stop voting for the UNION LOVING Democrats and you won’t have to put up with this crap.
Burn it and spread the ashes over subsequent garbage pickups over time.
City hall front lawn...
You take your garbage to the union president’s house.
I would put my pick up and car trailer with sides to work. I can carry 18 roll carts at $20 a cart and probably make three loads a day to the dump. That is $1080 a day minus fuel and dump fees. Fuel would probably be $100-$150 a day and dump fees about $150 a day. So $700 a day average. $3500 for five days. $4900 if I worked seven days. If it lasted a month that would be around $19,600 for a months work.
