I arranged for this trash pick up service (Seaside Sanitation) when I was newly-arrived to the area because I didn't know any better. Was shocked to find that they arrive for pick-up between 4 and 5 in the morning with either rap or dance music blasting from the truck's cab, and leave the empty bins/lids in the street after careening away. And this is in an otherwise very quiet, family-oriented subdivision. ULTRA fussy about what they pick up and how it must tied up all dainty for them. Even then, when you package things just how they tell you to, you never know if they'll pick up all of your trash or not. It's a crap-shoot. My next door neighbor does business with their competitors, and as of today, so do I. The other company comes to our neighborhood at a decent hour, picks up everything without complaining, doesn't leave the bins in the street, and is not noisy. When you call Seaside Sanitation to complain, they really just don't care. I'm happy to have a choice. Long live the free market and freedom of choice for consumers! I just made mine!
