Jackson Jambalaya

Did anyone expect anything different?

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

Have those rich people call Stokes. He said he’d take care of it

Look for something to get done now that The Eastover folks have been screwed. Next time go vote !

Trash containers, trash bags, and potholes, the new golf hazards.

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!

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

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.

Told ya that Organized Crime works.

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.

Jim Fish, Jr. (CEO of WM): "Do y'all miss us yet?"

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.
