Default Trash pickup days need to be alternated

Have you considered that Half of the TV residents get many more trash ‘Non-pickup days’ than the other half? This imbalance is caused by standard Holidays falling on Mondays & Thursdays.
Thus, half of the villagers are getting less service for the same fees as others..

In 2022; If your in a Monday & Thursday trash pickup Village- you had 5 weeks with a holiday (plus 2 Hurricane weeks) of ‘Non-pickup days’. The Tuesday/Friday villages had none (0) due to holidays…

In 2023, this unequal pattern continues...
The Monday/Thursday villages will be impacted by 4 holidays; while the Tuesday/Friday villages are only impacted by 1 holiday.

We all pay the same monthly garbage collection fees; but half the Villagers get less service for their money (due to more holidays falling on their trash pickup days).
Year after year - I say it’s unfair. Thus, a need to either alternate the Trash-pickup days every year. ‘Or’ charge Mon/Thurs villagers a lower monthly fee.

Half of you will agree; because you’ve had to hold your trash for a week (7 times) this year…. The others won’t because of little impact on them.

Yes, I’ve notified the District, but you know 1 voice only goes so far.
