Sticker for float home owners
I live in a float home in a marina in Queensborough with six other float homes. We all pay property tax, however, we are allotted only two garbage bins in total for the float homes and all the other boats in the marina.
This week our garbage bins were not picked up. Not because they had wrong content or were too heavy; it was because the two bins had been placed too close together on the road. The stickers left on the bins even had a printed explanation for that very reason.
Try and understand the twisted civic logic that rather than move one of the bins so the garbage could have been picked up and leave a sticker asking that the bins not be placed so close in future, the garbage truck driver had circled the reason on the two stickers and placed them on the bins, leaving behind the garbage. Being the height of summer it will be another week for this garbage to rot and even more garbage to collect.
This is an appalling attitude. Hopefully there is some accountability in city hall for this.
