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.
Oh god WTF...

FWIW, CoV garbage and yard waste/kitchen food scraps collection was horrible during the week when we had the massive snow dump too. Collection day was the day when snow came down hard the day before, so I never expected garbage to be collected anyway. The problem was, when CoV misses a collection, they just tell you to leave the bins out, and the disposal companies will come pick them up "the following day". The problem is, and has been for quite a while now, at least 2 - 3 years -- "the following day" actually means whenever they get to it, and the disposal companies never tell you when they'll actually come. For my place, the only space I have is in front of my driveway, so if I have the garbage / yard waste bins out, it becomes a chore to move the bins out of my vehicle's way, drive the car out, and put the bins back in front of my driveway.

I think the disposal trucks didn't come until at least a full week later. And of course, there was no notice of when they'll come, so I actually brought the bins back into my yard because I got tired of constantly moving the bins around whenever I need to get in or out. In totally, I had 4 weeks' worth of garbage in the 2 bins. It was not pretty.

In your case, I have some sympathy for your garbage disposal company because they probably have a backlog of other work to clear out too. But I'm telling you -- public or private, the service quality is not exactly ideal.

With your gate repairs, I hope at least the bin pulling company will pay for the repair costs of fixing your gate.
