McDonalds pays more than a city job…wt??? The city has to do better, smh… What about the people born and raised here? 12.49 hr? That’s insulting.

Take your own crap to the dump! Stop pushing your responsibility on other people. I get tired of driving around Pcola and seeing junk stack by the street. Have some pride in your city and house.

$12.49 hr. That is about $500 per week BEFORE taxes. Ask yourself if you can live on that paying a mortgage or rent, car payment, car insurance, electric, water, garbage, phone, food, insurance etc. I wouldn’t drive for them either for that little bit…but in order for wages to go up, fees have to go up. Get used to it folks. That’s how things work, wages go up, prices go up for everything.

How much does the Delta variant have to do with this? I know my septic tank replacement has been delayed 4 to 6 months because “all our employees have Covid”

This does NOT explain why we’ve been having since before Sally of them not picking up cans and yard limbs, etc on time for years! Every other week, I have to call and say “hey, you skipped me but got everyone else on my street”. Mine is never obstructed, but I’ve been having issues with ECUA for years! PLUS they raised our rates, and for what?! NOTHING

I understand shortages. I understand that wages are low.
Frankly I was suprized to hear how little county employees are paid. My choice is to not complain and figure our solutions to
to help this situation as long as I rely on other to dump.my trash. Dump sites are not the solution. From what I can see that appears to be costly for the tax payers. It looks bad. Perhaps making wise choices about what I buy and consume
makes less trash and will not add to the problem. I would rather see bags of trash Tied up along the side of the road and wait for someone to pick.it up than trash everywhere.

I’m sure if you pay extra & set up a date, the truck & driver will pick up your bulk waste.
$12.49 an hour for 12-13 hours a day…forget it!
Work at Target inside an air condition building for $15.00 a hour.
