    8 South Lake Avenue Albany, New York - Albany

    County Waste doing incredibly loud garbage pickups again in residential areas at 1-3 am. This time they did two separate pickups, one at 1 am and one at 2:30 am.

    This is maddening. How tf is this still happening. How hard can it be to tell county waste to respect the needs of Albany residents.

    County Waste is at it again, conducting incredibly loud garbage pickups 3x/week between the hours of 2-5 am at the Mayflower Apartments. The trucks are extremely loud, even when idling, and the banging of the garbage cans carry into nearby apartments.

    These trucks are above and beyond acceptable city-level noise. There have been loud music parties in the same area that are a tenth of the loudness of these trucks. It doesn't help that the garbage pickups last 10-15 minutes, ensuring that if you are awoken by the trucks, you're staying awake.

    I have previously complained about this and emailed the mayor's office. They stopped for approximately 5 months, and then continued their 2-5 am pickups. This level of noise should not be produced in residential areas at a time when people are sleeping. This must be breaking noise ordinances, especially as this noise is being produced by a private garbage company.

    6 South Lake Avenue Albany, New York - Albany

    County Waste has been picking up garbage at 3 am (right now) for the past 4 weeks in this residential neighborhood. The trucks are loud as they crush trash and wake people up.

    Is this really not breaking noise ordinance laws? It's 2:40 am. Nothing has been done and it's been going on for weeks sometimes multiple times per week.

    6 S. Lake Ave Albany, New York - Albany
    Last night was the second time in a week I have been woken by a recycling/garbage truck doing a pickup at 3 am outside 6 S. Lake Ave. It was from County Waste company. The truck is extremely loud when it breaks down materials and the banging of the garbage cans is quite loud for 3 am. It would be great if they could do their pickups during hours people are typically awake.
