Description
A John's Refuse & Recycling truck barrels down Eld Street 2-3 times a week at 5:15am. You can set your watch by it. Aren't there laws about how early these trucks can be working? How about it, LCI?

actually better at that hour because you don't have animals picking through the garbage all night
