Garbage Collection Still Delayed

The city of Jackson issued the following statement.

 As a reminder, Richard’s Disposal is still experiencing temporary delays due to recent storms. Crews are working hard to get back on schedule as it relates to normal trash pickup. Despite the delays, please leave your trash at the curb. Crews will be through to pick it up. Richard’s is only picking up household trash. 

If you have large limbs or storm debris that needs to be removed, you are asked to call The City of Jackson’s Solid Waste Division at 601-960-1193. If you have hired a contractor to cut up trees, it is the responsibility of the contractor to remove that debris.    

We ask for your patience over the next few days as crews work diligently to pick up the mass amounts of accumulated trash.   We apologize for any inconvenience.

Was not a fan of the Mayor's shoving Richard's down our throats, but have never blamed the hardworking guys on the trucks. This is understandable with downed trees, extra ruined food garbage, and the fact that they may have storm damage themselves.

Now, if the Mayor and Council will go to work with a new request for proposals before we end right back up where we were with garbage lining the streets of Jackson.

At some point the foolishness needs to stop. Delayed due to the recent storms? The only people who will believe it are the same folks who believe a mayor can veto a no vote.

lol they’ll take any situation and use it as an excuse for why nothing gets done in this city. Spin the wheel and see what it lands on:
- Weather
- Perceptions
- Racism
- White flight
- Climate change
- Republicans
- Statues
- Past mayors
- Trump
- Gunshows
- Historic freeze or heat

LMAO. Team Lumumba can't do anything. Maybe the Receiver should take over solid waste too.

No delays with Waste Management in Madison County. Palm greasing in Jackson doesn't actually improve service. Right?

LOL. The dog ate my homework.

I really 😂 appreciate their 'apologizing for the inconvenience'. Right?

But what I would really really appreciate is the Mayor apologizing for creating the inconvenience through his forcing Richards on the city - for whatever reason, hopefully to be discovered sometime soon.

The 'inconvenience' is not occurring in surrounding towns where legitimate garbage collection companies were also impacted by the storm but were able to overcome those impacts and not interrupt service.

Jackson is a f’ing joke of a shithole.

Storms hit Madison also. My garbage and limbs got picked up on time this week. Excuses.

A well worn excuse that Richard's has parlayed upon New Orleans many times. They're very experienced singing this tune.

Locusts I tell you, it's the locusts, but they are the radical variety.

Waste Management has been right on schedule in Madison County.

For the 15 years that I've lived in Jackson and had Waste Management picking up my trash, I can think of only once or twice, that they missed a day. Richards has missed at least 4 in the last two months. They obviously don't have enough trucks for regular pickup or supervisors who know how to get trucks and crews to handle "surges" in waste or debris. Regardless, this choice of vendor needs to be reevaluated sooner than later with a request for bids as soon as possible. Not an RFP, a request for bids based on a one set of specifications. 1x or 2x per week, I don't care. My own cans, bought and paid for for years, yes. It's only difficult when the Mayor tries to game the system and steer the contract.

Jacksonians must enjoy being lied to and taken advantage of. Enjoy your misery. You voted for it.

8:19, by your logic you must enjoy being lied to and taken advantage of by an addled President Biden - you voted for him.

The vast majority of Jacksonians who frequent this board, like me, did not vote for Lumumba. Your trolling is falling on the wrong ears on this blog.

No one blames the guys actually collecting the trash it's their piss poor leadership. The owner of Richards and the mayor both are slimy snake oil
salesmen

10:32am, using my logic, I would have already moved out of Jackson.

The vast majority of Jacksonians who frequent this board either DID vote for him or did not bother to vote.

I have no idea how many 'Jacksonians' visit this board, and neither do you. But, apparently not enough to matter in the mayoral elections.

Regardless of organization, where lethargy, apathy, incompetence, laziness and sloth exist, it starts at the top and migrates all the way to the bottom.

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.

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.
