we sort of have choices but this company is by far the best, they have the bulk of the business so the other companies that service our neighborhood are not that reliable, especially when it comes to yard waste, we have a big yard and in the spring can have as many as 20 big tall yard waste bags, when I had switched before often the company did not pick up the yard waste and that was a real pain.

On a side note my husband works at GM on Monday morning our roads were awful and he has a 40 min drive to work, I told him he should stay home, but he got up really early and went to work, only about 20% of the people showed up. Today he found out they are considering it a snow day and both hourly and salary people will be paid 8 hours. They also decided to pay those that showed up an extra 8 hours to make it fair. Of course my husband was happy about that but I reminded him how when I told him about our trash guys he could care less and said people that do that type of work come and go, I guess that's what bothers me is a lot of people, husband included could care less if they got paid or not. I know how many workers that do that type of job live pay check to pay check, so I hate to see it happen to them. These guys have always been so helpful to me so I am not going to let this drop before seeing how many of my neighbors feel like I do. I used to be on our lake board so I have about 300 email addresses I can send to if I decide to, but I will wait awhile to see if I can find out for sure what happend
