Good Job, Richard's.

 Richard's Disposal yet again failed to pick up the garbage in Northeast Jackson yesterday. 

The company did not pick up garbage Thursday due to bad weather.  Waste Management cancelled its service in the burbs as well but ran the Thursday routes on Friday and the Friday routes on Saturday.  Unfortunately, Richard's Disposal took the easy way out and said it would pick it up at the next scheduled day.  

Richard's Disposal pulled a similar stunt over a year ago when severe storms passed through the area.  Richard's did not pick up the garbage, claiming it could not take the garbage to the Waste Management transfer station in West Jackson since it lost power.  However, Waste Management said it could still accept garbage and its trucks ran their regular routes while Richard's made excuses.

“Failed to pick up the garbage in NORTHEAST JACKSON.” Bwahahahahaha

I sure would love to see Jackson like it was before “perception of crime” Ditto put the JPD on the wrong path and started the city’s demise back in the 1990’s. So, I promise, I’m rooting for anything good that can happen to Jackson. But watching the naivete of residents that continue to reward the current Jackson Mayor’s extremely horrible behavior, by moving into that cliquey area over there “east” of Ridgewood…is just comical.

Of course they living in Jackson, but they ain’t sending their kids to those Jackson public schools.

This is the only forum I have to complain other than an angry phone call to City Hall. That's next.

No garbage pick up last week, last Thursday and yesterday. Maybe weather last weeek but it did not start raining until 4:00 PM yesterday!

The trash pick up so far has been acceptable, not dependable. (They keep ruining our plastic cans.) I guess that's acceptable but maybe it isn't. Enough of this.....

Garbage, just like the joke of a mayor.

The title should read "Good Job, Chokwe."

Keep fighting the good fight 8:14. I support your desire to live in filth. Never give up on your dream.

Residents of any city only want a few things.
They want the fire department to come when the house is on fire.
They want the popo to come when they are needed.
They want their trash picked up on a regular basis.
They want to be able to turn on a faucet and have clean water come out.
And, they want their poo to go to a sewage treatment facility.

They just picked up my garbage, this AM one day after schedule!

It picked up mine in Fondren. Doesn’t prove that it was picked up everywhere.

I live in Northeast Jackson. I was happy for the one-day delay as it gave us time to add our debris from the storm to "the collection". It also doesn't bother me that perhaps those who empty our trash had time to take to do the same for their friends and families. I can't help but think 1) more than a few commenting don't live in Jackson and/or 2) don't think before you comment or 3) just are negative humans or) who think you are the center of universe and like 2 year olds throw a fit when you don't get what you want when you want it. And, I so know those things mean that you are immature and selfish.

NE Jackson republicans have no clout with the COJ. They are, however, the source of funding to run its operations.

It picked up mine in Fondren but that doesn't prove that others did not have service yesterday.

They probably quit yesterday because me and a lot of neighbors loaded them down with storm debris plus the additional garbage they didnt collect last week because of a little wind.

I live in Fondren. They picked mine up around 745am yesterday. Not sure what's going on with yours.

Fondren isn't NE Jackson.

Sorry KF but this is click bait. They didn’t pick up Thursday because of the weather and came on Monday. It’s really not a big deal. I’ve found the Richard’s workers to be hard working with no issues. The contract is a fraud but the workers aren’t.

Actually no. RD did not pick up yesterday in quite a few areas in NE Jackson. WM faced the same storm and simply reset schedules and picked up garbage a day later, not take an extra day off as RD did.

Trash as NOT picked up yesterday and I live in fancy ass Eastover.....

Trolling y'all said...

It's The Fondren, not Fondren.

This is a "minor" issue like Thalia Mara Hall, and it's just a "perception" that garbage was not picked up. Right?

12:47 - I've been here for 53 years. I know damned well wtf to call it.

Brandon resident here. I was notified that trash would not pick up Thursday and all subsequent pick ups would be shifted by one day later.
No complaints.
I feel like NE Jxn probably lowered the ol' expectation bar when they went weeks with no pickup so they just don't mind paying more and waiting longer for their trash service. To each their own.

The Fondren isn't NE Jackson.

Was it a paid day off for the Richard's staffers?

They did not pick up garbage at all from Sept 9th until the 16th in my part of NE Jackson. Everybody had full cans on the street.

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.
