The First Shall be Last

 The folks in the Country Club of Jackson are waiting for Richard's Disposal to pick up their garbage yet again after the company missed the scheduled collection yesterday.

How long before you get the JJ mobile smell-it-on-the-net feature activated?

Does accuweather have an index that helps a person forecast just how many days before their missed cart or bags get fully ripened to biohazard level NINE?

The Affluent Old Money Gentry of The CCJ can afford to pay people to carry their trash up HWY 25 and dump it in the cans of the new money neighborhoods of Flowood.

Been 2 weeks since I seen a garbage truck!!! I have 3 big cans overflowing at the road!! The mayor’s garbage company is just like him, can’t do nothing right!

We need a NEW mayor and our old garbage company back!!!

l live off old fannin, my garbage gets picked up twice a week just like clockwork. for the low, low price of 29.99 a week, i'll let you bring your trash cans and put them in front of my house.

1:47 : Trash pickup is the one thing both po and rich have in common. Why you wanna take that away ?

that area is leaning a valuable lesson…fall in line with lumumba or else..

It's sad but this was so easy to predict. Chokwe just worried about his kneecaps getting broke to hell with the garbage.

There's so much "trash" in the rest of the city, they just don't have time...

So now that the dust has settled… Did Lumumba win?

In all fairness said...

Trash pickup should be prioritized based on amount of property taxes paid

Chokwe is the worst. It’s true… this guy can’t do anything right. He’s such a fool

Think about certain parts of "rural" Jackson that even Jaxonians know nothing about. You think those trucks are running Shaw Road ? All those little side streets over around Forest Hills ? The answer is no.

Drive them out, pickup their homes for a song. Radical.

This is a totally broken city. They can't hire police because they don't pay salaries to attract. The water is a disaster and the streets are gutted with massive potholes.

The number for Richard's is 769-333-4222. They still haven't picked up our Thursday garbage and now won't even answer the phone. Our city councilman got through and the answer we got back is, "That area is still on our list (picking up the Thursday garbage on Friday afternoon) but if we aren't there by 5:30, take your garbage back uo to your house."

Our mayor has f*cked us again.

I just got off the phone with Richards. As a temporary solution, I was advised to drop off my garbage in secure garbage bags only at a collection spot located at 1 Eastmont Place. Advise the attendant that you live at the CCJ.

3:18 :I do not live in Jackson and can say with all certainty ......when only 10,000 vote it means you f*cked yourselves and I do believe that he can be impeached. If y'all really wanted it bad enough.

$29.99 a week? For the math challenged JPS scholars, that's damned near $560 a year. That's diaper and nail money for a single boy like me!

@3:42 PM said...

For the math challenged @3:42 PM that would be $1,559.48 a year. D'oh.

Maybe they cannot tell what is trash and what isn't trash. Just by driving down a few streets it would be hard to tell.

It's the perception of trash not being picked up.

Gotta love Organized Crime. Once they set the hooks, well..... wonder when and if we'll see any RICO action.

Don't call Richard's. Call the Mayor's office and 311.

I have no sympathy for the folks in the Country Club of Jackson.

They too ... had the means to get out of Jackson many years ago.

Bill Dees said...

How long have they actually waited? What addresses? Anonymous commenters have zero credibility.

Sorry, 3:42. There is no impeachment of local officials in Mississippi. They have to resign, die, or be convicted of a felony (or lose an election, of course).

I live in Eastover and my trash has been picked up every Monday and Thursday. Not a day has been missed. I still disagree with the hiring of Richards and would like WM back because they were the low bidder and the emergency process is a sham. Plus, I like the fact that WM is going towards natural gas fueled trucks unlike the smog spewing, diesel burning Richards trucks. Funny how Chockwe doesn't mention the Democratic climate warming boogie man when it suits his purposes not to.

Yes lets again hack off the tax base

They are busy getting Jacktown garbage picked up for Former President Bill Clinton & Former Governor Haley Barbour come to town, May 3 to honor former Governor Winter. Duh you know JCC is not in their travel route! Whatcha think!

Impeach 'em Danno said...

@6:59 PM - very true, but can you imagine the pants wetting if the legislature introduced local goverment impeachment legislation?

Mrs. Eastover said...

At 7:14pm

I live in the same neighborhood. I had noticed both Richards Disposal trucks as well as Waste Management trucks. For the last week or so, Have only seen Richards trucks.

I Pay an extra fee to have my garbage can collected from my garage rather than my having to take the garbage can to the street.

Does anyone know if Richards will resume this practice at some point in time?

Thank you

It’s unlikely that RDI is going unpaid. More likely, RDI is being laid by another City vendor, expecting to be reimbursed via a payment masked as unrelated.

Update Saturday morning: The garbage in the County Club has still not been picked up by Richard's. The "customer service" number from Richard's is a fake. Try it yourself: 769-333-4222. The number rings three or four times and then cuts off with the message, ""Your call cannot be completed at this time. Try again later."

Dr. Omari has been notified a number of times. Ashby Foote has been notified a number of times.

Still waiting. Garbage still sits.

Only 2600 people voted in the Brandon General election and people complain about Butch Lee all the time. Voting numbers were down around the entire state.

They better not pay Richards!! No contract and they're only rarely working!! I pay for 2x week pickup and they've only been here 2 or 3 times ALL MONTH!! Called them last week and they argued with me and said I live in the county! Uh no dumbass I've been paying sky high COJ taxes for 10 years!! I sure WISH I still lived in the county but I got annexed!!

How is that TWICE PER WEEK pickup doing for ya? Not too gooooooood…

Kingfish said...

Not approving your comment because you flat out lied.

Dude said he was just in CCJ and it was all picked up. Just posted video from last night showing it wasn't picked up. Several readers have contacted me since 9:30 to just now who live in CCJ saying there garbage was not picked up. Not approving an obvious lie.

Still isn't at 3:00 pm Saturday.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.
