Exited the street, drove down the road, turned right around came back. Drove back up my street, picking up the trash on the "even numbered side".

Trash trucks usually get somewhere under 5 mpg.

I'm not claiming to be a logistics expert, but someone please explain this one to me?

Said elsewhere. Our parents were called the greatest generation. Will we be called the complaining generation? Why ask here? Call the company and ask. I don't know about your company there are several in the Villages. Ours does a great job.

That this is NOT going to be more fatiguing than grabbing a bag and swinging it into the truck, then standing on the truck and hopping off at the next cluster of bags and swinging each one in, and then taking another couple breaths while standing on the truck to the next stop?

Do you truly believe that a truck that has to idle twice as long between each stop (so the hauler can get the can(s) from each side of the road) will be less wasteful than a truck that idles half as long? Even worse - if the truck stops and there's no can on THAT side of the road, but there's one across the street, the truck has to idle twice as long anyway, because the hauler has to go across the street to get the can, lug it to the truck, then carry the can back over again. You really think that's more cost-efficient than stopping at each house that has trash, and just swinging bags into the back of the truck?

It sounds like you're just choosing to argue against logic for some reason. Are you okay?

People are people. Not everything is an argument. People-some I'm right and anyone with different OPINION is wrong. The Villages. Imagine the inmates running this place.
