Thank You for p/u , when I walk, on a day like yesterday, I p/u the trash cans in the street, I dont tell any body, I would like to think some one did for me when I was working.
The bins in the park, have wheels, for maneuverability, on P /u days..... they are rolled to the curb, we had a wind event, yep. but how often? warrant the cost.
Belle Isle, uses the plastic pickle barrels with a rope loop , to go around a wooden post, now when used the barrels get so heavy, the employee by passes them to heavy, or dont take the time to put barrel loop back around the post. Trust me Belle Isle gets a lot of constant wind..... one time they had 72 barrels in the lagoons....... not the same, in away it is.

Thank you for your efforts to keep the park clean. I will forward your concerns to the DPW, who arrange the garbage/recycle containers and pick up schedule.

this site is being censored......... there fore it is not doing what the council wanted it to do.

I Care: Censored? The site is meant to report issues to the city. It isn't a forum to debate issues, etc.. Perhaps the city or the waste disposal company can come up with a solution.

Fridays wind came from the south, Sat. came from the NW, the containers, have wheels to ease in emptying.

I also have a couple of these Totes, when empty, they are subject to gravity. if wheel axle is not placed counter to the curve of my drive, Till something is in them. (let me explain)
What I have noticed in the pass, (at the park) the Totes along Washington, West side of N. Custard, do not get compromised, the ones which remain standing, in a storm, are on flat ground to start with.
A couple of weeks ago, (No storm) seems like 75% or more were tipped over, on P /U day, I can not believe, that Mr. Tringali, or the Truck Driver, would stand for them to be left that way.
The ones I see discombobulated, to the world, are on the hump, or unevenness at the Curb.
If empty, and some one is in a car, flips the cover over, this could cause the Tote to lean backwards.
(I personally, like them at the curb, and use them, quite often, I eat in my car quite often, enjoying the sun and its warmth.

I don't need a physics lesson, I understand the purpose behind the design, I understand wind events, I really wasn't looking to engage in a debate on the issue, I certainly don't want an e-mail notification every time you feel the urge to chime in. Jeez, give it a rest and let the city look at the situation and see if they can come up with a solution.

I agree with Pete T. The City/Tringalli will figure something out, if it's cost effective enough.

Sorry, I was offering, brain storming..(it was not directed at the poster)
is there a solution to "KIDS TIPPING THEM OVER ?"
I was trying to keep from saying that. I, witnessed one day, kids flipping the covers, totes falling over was the entertainment, My totes, same type & size, from Tringali, didnt get blown over, Yes, I was looking at the cost effectiveness. in the long run, I feel they are well used.
