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.

If you look at these 3 links from the district website, you will see that Districts 1-11 had NO disruptions in service on the holidays except for Thanksgiving. That’s an awfully large part of the Villages.
South of 44, there were 4 days of non-pickup but only a 3 day wait until the next pickup....not a week
In Lake County, they added Tuesday as a pickup day if the holiday fell on a Monday

Different companies pick up the garbage in different areas, which leads to the discrepancies in what they decide to do on the holidays.

The fees for each area are slightly different too...we don’t all pay the same.

Just trying to clarify the info, not trying to instigate anything.

I’m assuming you live South of 44. Your trash is picked up by Tri County Sanitation.
You might want to call and complain to them

Hope this helps

Anyplace I have lived in the past that has trash pick-up, it only occurred once a week. I just consider the second pick-up per week a bonus.

I'm shocked that no one has filed a Class Action Suit against the Developer or County for the disparate treatment of residents. What happened to "Equal treatment under the law" ?

A Development or community will never be successful, if such hardship continues.

It is only fair that the OP be compensated for all their past and future inequities.

[GpaVader]

A rotation would only confuse people and we'd have trash left out. First, if it's that big of a deal move. Second, most of us are used to only getting trash picked up once a week, if you know what's coming, plan for it, we do...

I used to think that rolling down the window to open the gates was the number one silliest complaint. Not anymore.

If only I knew how to start one of those go-fund-me accounts.

Blah, blah, blah

Just be happy you don't have to haul it to the dump yourself. Next thing you know people will complain that one village gets more rain than they do.

Yes, I've always thought that The Villagers in Marion County get more rain than we do.

I cannot believe someone has the time to document a "complaint" such as this. Some just have too much time on their hands. The trash collection in TV is outstanding, as well as the scheduling. My Two Cents!

And there was I thinking you were talking about Snowbirds - here for less than half of the year, yet pay a full year's contribution. Now THEY have something to complain about.

What about our vacations should we apply for refunds?
