undependable

yesterday (Friday, January 19, 2024) the town put out its second trash message of the week. It reads:
"There will be NO trash pick-up on Friday, January 19. WasteManagement plans to be in town tomorrow, Saturday, January 20, to collect Thursday's trash. They will be dispatching a second truck later in the day on Saturday for Friday's collection but are not sure they will be able to get all pick-ups due to time limitations with landfill hours and DOT regulations. If your trash is not collected, it will be collected next week. We are sorry for the inconvenience but Mother Nature is at work again."
Our trash is normally scheduled to be picked up on Friday. Does this message mean that our trash may be picked up Saturday afternoon? Maybe--but it does say that "They will be dispatching a second truck later in the day on Saturday for Friday's collection but are not sure they will be able to get all pick-ups due to time limitations with landfill hours and DOT regulations."

So, if it doesn't get picked up on Saturday afternoon, when will in be picked up? "next week". what day? it doesn't say.

Given the vagueness of yesterday's message, coupled with the fact that I've learned not to believe anything that the town says, I put our trash out anyway.

Lo and behold, at 6:45 AM this morning, W/M's trash truck comes rolling down the street.

There's only one way to describe the town of strasburg--FUBAR.
