Actually, John, it's not that simple. If you lived in a multi-family home, you would understand that despite putting out recycling bins with the garbage, the garbage is still not being collected. And considering our weekly recycling far outweighs our weekly garbage output, it's not a matter of "getting the hang of things." Maybe you should cut the condescending attitude and come up with a suggestions for how to fix this problem. Due to your ignorant remarks, I'll not be watching your show again.

Great! Know that some residents of Providence have fully complied we pull up to our homes to see that only a portin of the trash was picked up. Let me see Mr. Mayor, you dont have our trash picked up last week because of lack of communication from your administration, now the trash that did not fit in those full barrels with trash from last week is stacked neatly next to them with a blue and a green bin to join, and they still dont get picked up? I am ashamed to have helped you get elected.

Are you drinking the coolaid John. The notices did not specify what the residents were suppossed to do. Don't you pay attention? Your comments are way off base. Yes it is simple but that would be if the citizens were properly informed. Check with Councilman John Lombardi to find out what I am saying.
