Trash Talk: Will They Come?

 Richard's Disposal failed to pick up garbage yesterday in the Country Club of Jackson.  The schedule of garbage collection in CCJ is Monday and Thursday.  Other neighborhoods report similar problems. 

Some sections of Eastover report receiving only one day of garbage service since Richard's Disposal began operating in Jackson.  Residents of Colonial Heights and Meadow Oaks Park reported their garbage was not picked up yesterday as well.  

The garbage was finally picked up around noon today in CCJ.

Time to take your garbage and dump it off at city hall….the fountain is broken anyway….fill it up

What do y'all expect from:

-Living in Jackistan
-Electing a "free the land" racist progressive mayor
-Re-electing a "free the land" racist progressive mayor
-Not marching/protesting weekly at city hall
-Accepting as normal potholes, water failures, sewage failures, violent crime, 100s of abandonded homes, FOR YEARS

But, but, but ---- just realize how pretty those streets would look (according to COS Omari) if they had awarded the contract with nice looking uniform carts lining the streets. Granted, the carts would be out there for several days at a time since they aren't picking up the garbage, but the cans would be uniform with the Bold New City's logo imprinted on them.

I drive by the Mayor's home on Ridgewood each day on the way to work. Miraculously, he and his neighbors' pick up days are never missed since he created this debacle? Quite the coincidence, uh?

Ooops!

This is what happens when petulant children are in charge. Turns lovely places into a third world S-hole.

In more shocking news, water is in fact wet.

What does Gomer Pile say? "Surprise, surprise, surprise"

It looks like they can also use a little road work also. Or, is this the standard for north Jackson roads?

What makes them so special? All of Jackson has this issue. Richard's has not been on the ground but a couple of weeks. CCJ needs to get over itself.

Re-electing a racist progressive mayor and expecting different results.

My garbage was picked up yesterday as scheduled in NE Jackson.

Evidently, Virgi's support has ensured regular pickups on my street in Belhaven.

Same here although it was at 8 PM.

It's called conditioning. Richard's will gradually get everyone accustomed to having their garbage picked up sporadically. Soon you will accept the new reality and be glad to have once a week pickup (better than nothing). After a year you will stop insisting on twice weekly pickup and even using your own cans. That's when they will spring for the "new" contract. Suckers!

Must live near the Mayor.

Watch to see which council person flips their vote. Garbage is not an issue to take a "last stand" over.

Here in leftover, ours was picked up yesterday but one street over it was not. No rhyme or reason to any of it. If only someone could have seen this coming...

At what point does Richard's performance become prima facie evidence that it's bid for garbage pickup was not the "lowest and best"?

If I was on the counsel's or Waste Management's legal team, which I'm not, I would want to document Richard's performance in a way that could be admitted into evidence in court.

Picked up mine in Fondren today— a day late.

Attn 3:10 PM, my trash was also picked up as scheduled. Of course I live in Reunion, Madison Ms.!!!!!

Richard's visited a day late twice in my NE Jxn neighborhood.

Bring back reliability, bring back WM!

Another new normal for you Jackistanites.

I live in an affluent Brandon gated community.
My WM fee went up.
I pay it and my trash pickup has remained unchanged.

I can’t recall what the various RFP bids were for once a week pickup. That seems to be closer to what Richard’s is doing. Have they requested, or been paid, yet?

Hey y’all. We got our sh*t picked up in Byram by Richards ….and the City of Byram doesn’t have a contract with Richard’s so I’m happy. I especially like the Sunday afternoon pickup schedule by Richard’s in Byram. Ain’t life good?

I live in Gluckstadt. My garbage gets picked up weekly on schedule. My water and sewer is cheap and extremely reliable. Our schools are good. My house has never been broken into. But our roads are terrible.

Well , they picked our garbage up every time since taking over. NE Jackson. I guess we are the lucky ones.

Mine was picked up last Thursday and again yesterday. I will put it out tomorrow evening and it will be picked up Thursday. Thank you Rankin County Board of Supervisors.

I also live in Northeast Jackson and have lived there 40 years. For years, I have also been on the Monday/Thursday pickup. Richard’s Disposal failed to pick up my neighborhood’s trash on last Thursday. I subsequently called the City who put me in touch with Richard’s. After multiple phone calls to them on Thursday/Friday, and after multiple promises that their District Manager was on it, my trash was not picked up.
Over promising and under performing!

For those of us who read Yelp reviews of these yahoos none of this is any new situation. Have fun swimming in garbage while the suburbs continue to get reliable twice-weekly service from Waste Management...

I placed a large amount of yard debris on the street Tuesday morning & immediately called the city to arrange pickup. At 2pm Tuesday the city responded and picked up the yard debris. Oh, I forget to say I live in Ridgeland since moving a copy of years back from the Fondren area of Jackson.

Oh look, the Mayor's trash has already been picked up today. I'm not holding my breath that mine will be - maybe it'll get picked up by Friday or Saturday.

I don't know how virtually EVERY other city in America manages to have reliable basic services, safety and collection of payments for water...all while Chuckles ruins even the few functional items he inherited.

And it's just tolerated in the name of woke diversity theater?

Jackson folks have lost their minds for putting up with this garbage.

Pun intended.

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.

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.
