Trash Pickup
As a Watertown taxpayer I wish to make a complaint that I and others have regarding trash pickup.Many towns do not include trash pickup in their taxes and residents must dispose at a facility. Watertown, on the other hand does include trash in their taxes, but does not pickup all items residents need to dispose of. The rule I understand is only two items per week in addition to trash barrels. As a two family home, still only two items. Also, when families move, there may be a need for additional items to be disposed of, but that is not allowed. This situation has been resolved at many homes by giving the driver money. This is ludricous. When driving by many homes in Watertown, you may see multiple items out front.
This looks very unattractive for our Town. Because we pay substantial taxes, I feel all trash must be picked up, and those drivers
should not be compensated.
