so in october our strata signed up with a new garbage removal company. Waste Management.

Since then it's been nothing but issues. The dumpsters are supposed to be pulled out in the morning before the truck comes later in the day to tip them, but they never put them in the area built specifically to keep them. Instead they put them on the street (where the City has told us we can't leave them) and leave them literally right in front of some townhome front doors. Understandably those residents aren't happy about that.

Trying to get them to stop doing that has been like pulling teeth. Their crews are just either incompetent, or they really don't give a fuck.

Then we had the snowstorm recently on Wed and Thu. The bins were pulled on Friday, and not returned until the following Wednesday.

They kept blaming the snow for the delays. But the snow was all melted by Sunday. And still took them another 3 days to come and return the bins.

Meanwhile, our residents left a huge pile of rotting trash bags in the garbage rooms because the bins weren't there and we had to clean that up.

Then this morning, I got word that the company who pulls the bins out (DASH) basically destroyed our garage gate.

I watched the footage and he uses his pickup truck to pull a train of three dumpsters from the parkade to the street.

As he's driving under the gate, he stops in the exact spot in between the 2nd and 3rd dumpster, meaning the optical sensor didn't see anything in the way. So the gate comes down, then he drives forward. The gate catches them top of the dumpster and he rips the whole gate off.

So now we have no gate. Thousands in damages. Residents are furious because they can't drive out until its fixed. Which might not be until tomorrow.
