It says alot about the community when "911 lights up when trash haulers come before 7 a.m.".
911? Really?
I was thinking the same thing. Where I live DSNY will pick up the trash 24 hours a say. The shifts are midnight to 8 am, 6 am to 2 pm and 4 pm to midnight.
How about fining the people who called 911 with a non emergency.
Also, if the city is hell bent on jailing someone, jail the supervisors who make the schedule and upper managers who give the orders of the day not some poor sonofa'***** just trying to eek out a meger living picking up garbage.
Calls went into the Non/Emergency Line that "Rings" in the 911 center after hours.
Its not a "Random" guy picking up, it was WasteManagement, His supervisor make the routes up, they want two run per day out of each truck, That was the last stop, then up to the transfer site. To be there when it opens, so they can dump the overnight load, then do a daytime run in residential area, and dump that load before the transfer site closes at 2pm.
How so? This is literally what the initial articles stated. He went to pick up trash at 5AM instead of 7AM, a complaint was filed, and he received a jail sentence.
This is an interesting topic because in my area we have the same noise ordinance but it doesnt seem to apply to school busses that have squeaky brakes and bright flashing white lights on top. Nothing like having my room lit up with a strobe light at 6:20 in the morning...

We have one in my neighborhood, but yet the police do routine runs through the neighborhood in the middle of the night with their spotlights on flashing blinding light through our windows.
Waste pickup in the area that I grew up was easily between 4:30am and 7:00am. I just don't see the problem with that.
Everyone knows they have to put their trash out the night before! The trucks go by and 99% of the time I don't hear them... and if I hear them then so what? It's kind of a soothing sound to awake to lol

Yeah, it's insane. I read about this a few days ago and just kept wondering "Who ARE these people calling 911?" Put in some earplugs the night before you have trash pickup or something. This is not anything that would even show up on my radar as anything more than a minor annoyance.
I grew up in the country, and this is the kind of thing I accept as just what happens when you live in a heavily populated area. A dog's sustained barking, a stereo played too loud for a long time, construction starting in the AM or anything like that is really what noise ordinances should be about.
And yeah, why on earth would they not go after the guy's supervisors rather than the dude who was just an employee?
