The trash service vendor name is not disclosed here, but rhymes with "waxy". EMAIL August 30, 2013 Email from Trash Service From: CURTIS<trash@aol.com> To:xxxx Sent: Friday, August 30, 2013 8:17 AM Subject: Leaving Truck Hello, we did pull the truck off the road to investigate a leak, we did find a crack in the rear door. We ordered the metal to fix it and all should be good next week. Thanks "PASSION, PERFORMANCE & PRAYER" CURTIS President / Founder ________________________________________________________________________________ From Owner email: "I have it in writing that Mange does daily checks from one end to the other and she signed the letter. I even complained to the office first then the TT owner. The truck continues to leak but I Hayvn't seen it yet today, she certainly ISNT doing any ''checks'' . Nobody could miss the stench and the viscous liquid puddles of 1-2 gallons. _____________________________________________________________________________ Attachment DeletedTT continues to empty it putrid liquid cargo on SLR roads whenever it compacts. What do YOU put in your garbage can? Attachment DeletedOrganic remains of dinner which has baked too long in the sun between pickups? Drained fat from meat? Rotting food from forgotten food in the pantry or fridge? Accumulated contents of doggie bags which has been fermented by heat? Used Kleenex with hacked up mucous from infected lungs? Adult undergarments which have collected urine and feces? Attachment DeletedAll this stuff is liquified when compacted and Trash service empties it on our streets. When a resident and their pet walk on it, it adheres to shoes and paws and comes into contact with your carpet and furniture. This is not only stomach-churning but is a health and environmental hazard. Despite written complaints to the Management Company, the dumping continues. Direct contact was made to Trash service President, who admitted the problem and stated that the situation had been remedied. The dumping continues...

September 14, 2013 I wasn't sure where to post this comment but this page seems to be the pulse of SLR so here goes....
I personally would like to thank the Resident for contacting TT about their God awful smelling/leaking garbage truck.
I cant understand why this went on all summer long and the Management did nothing to correct the problem. TT intentionally was draining toxic waste into our storm sewer and on our streets 3 (three) days a week . You couldn't go for a bike ride or a walk without smelling this horrible smell .
I see that now SLR has Garbage Trucks on its streets 4 days out of 5 (mon. thru fri.) for one reason or another. So much for the aspect of a Retirement Community .
I can remember when the SLR Maintenance crew picked up the garbage 2 days a week and we only had 1 (one) transfer truck swap out the can at the compactor when it was full .
It cant be cheaper to have all these large trucks on contract as compared to our own Employees doing the pick up and just to pay for can transfer .
I understand we now have recycle bins and brush pick up included and the brush p/u is a necessary evil .
It would seem more reasonable to hire 2-3 more part time Employees and go back to picking up our own trash than to have all this large truck traffic 4 out of 5 days a week .
But I digress, Thank You again to the Resident that got the leaking truck from TT fixed you know who you are ! You did what no other Resident cared to do, what Manager/Bod FAILED to do .

WE are not just talking about one toxic "soup puddle"--we are talking about dozens of them along with the hundreds of large oil drops and oil "puddle" stains.
The oil is up to one foot in diameter in some places; obvious, black, greasy, globs of oil spots, spills, puddles, dribbles and stains along with the liquid that rinsed the trash while it tumbled dry inside the trash truck, then was ALSO spilled on the roads in here. Then trash truck makes a hasty exit.
This stuff sure smells and looks really bad and just in time for the up North folks to enjoy as well.

Another violation that's been going on in here is the Trash service truck leaking smelly liquid and oil stains on our new roads.
New stains continue to show up all over our roads every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday and do not wash out when it rains; our new pavement has now started to look and smell like some forgotten back alley in a big city.
How come management and the board have not noticed this and contacted them?
Several complaints have been made to the owner of this company by a resident, but he has turned a blind eye to what his drivers are doing by overloading the truck. _________________________________________________________________
It's time to contact county authorities and/or officials that can get this trashy truck off our roads! _________________________________________________________________ October 13, 2013
Don't worry, the Trash service has only been leaking and spilling this toxic infectious soup for the last 5 months @ the rate of 3 days a week , I'm sure Management will do something when they see it in the not so near future. ___________________________________________________________
October 14, 2013
@ Above : I seriously doubt the Manager will address the constantly leaking Trash service truck in our Resort as she does not live in here like we do . After all, she is saving us money and a leaking truck is low on the priority list even though numerous complaints have been made .
The way this should be handled is to cancel Trash service's contract and hire R (who keeps their trucks in compliance) .
I also doubt MANBOD can see or smell the stains on our streets just like they didn't see the faults in Txxxxx Paving's "Quality" job they did in our Resort . _______________________________________________________________
when we have a manager and a board that just doesn't care about things like a stinking, trash juice and oil leaking trash truck, it's obvious they don't care about much at all. ______________________________________________________
I'm positive Canadian Folks that are soon to arrive will not appreciate this kind of thing...hope at least one of THEM complains about it; maybe then management and board just might do something about this problem w/trash truck spilling this magnitude of liquid and oils on our recently paved streets. _________________________________________________________
October 15, 2013
I see a huge Trash service spill in front of AK's place and it has been tracked down the street, what a MESS ! _________________________________________________________
If you take the time to slowly drive around the Resort in a cart you can see that at each place Trash service stops to pick up garbage there is a toxic Trash service spill.
I guess if you are the Manager and you ignore the problem it doesn't exist . _________________________________________________________________

I see that the yellow recycle bins will be collected on Tuesday with the other household garbage next week. If it goes in the same truck what is the need to recycle ?
This starts on Oct. 22nd , so unless they keep the recycles separate from the garbage it will ALL go to the landfill and be buried .
More on this next Tuesday !

It appears the big yellow Trash Truck is no longer leaking the foul and toxic garbage soup . BUT if you drive around the Resort you will see black spots where TT has been leaking Hydraulic Fluid . This is very evident on Pink Lady and on every street in SLR. A Sm all pool of black oil at each and every stop and drips between each stop .
Just one more of the beauties of SLR ! (not picking nits here) This is a serious problem and what Resort would allow this to continue with such a focused Management and BOD staff .
I reckon it wont be a problem until the black oil is on a BODS carpet or hardwood floor. However the stains are in front of their homes as well .
My thought on this is that MANBOD is overwhelmed with the workload or they just have no idea how to manage a Resort properly .

Our Leaders just have Tunnel Vision... But, they can not see past their Nose.. That is why we have the several Cameras in SLR... O-Yes they can see $$$$$ signs and spend $$$$... A Change will come, nothing stays the same... The Residents need to wake up..

I believe the Administrator should change the title of this section of the forum from Trash Service to Trash Disservice...

I failed to bring everyone a trash truck update on last Friday, so here it is: the Trashin' Truck is still leaking oil puddles with fresh oil. So Watch Where You Step, fellow SLR citizens.
I Hayvn't seen too many bigger garbage juice spills lately, but smaller ones are still being noted in places.
The Trashin' continues to happen and with NO intervention on part of this community's leaders--what a SHAME!

Even on Stonefly--population 6--there is an oilspill where the truck stops for my bag. I walk my dog around it but she still gets a footbath after walks between TT's putrid soup and the sandhill cranes' droppings.
It seems like there more operational mismanagement in here lately than in the past!

Note, The Oil & Hydraulic Fluid Leaks will attack the Asphalt. Making its life span shorter. Not Good!!! 8-(

Another environmental debris hazard going on for several months now are the large dump piles thrown in the dog run by various contractors--who were supposed to HAUL AWAY their debris from SLR; yet it managed to be carelessly thrown into the dog run, (which is an area of "I-don't-give-a-damn-because-it's-the-dog-run by the manager.)
These piles are chock full of environmental hazards such as asphalt and concrete chunks, contaminated soils from sewer leak repairs and other hazards such as re-bar, glass chunks/shards and a myriad of other shit.
This situation screams for a governmental agency to come and take samples and investigate this.

of course, I'm sure I don't have to mention it, but I will, is the fact that our manager and therefore our (puppet) bod approved the dumping of these environmentally hazardous waste materials in our dog run from contractors who, we were told by the manager would be hauling away ANY of their waste...

Isn't is just wonderful how the YELLOW Trash truck has made more liquid spills on our streets again od Saturday November 30th !
Some of use have been complaining about this trashy service for over 8 months and still the Manager fails to do a thing about it, the big cheese director fails to do anything either .
There is no way this place is run properly , SLR is turning into what 8 mile slums look like in Detroit , maybe we would be better off dumping our garbage in the office parking lot and keeping the YELLOW trashy truck out of our trailer court (no way would a RESORT allow this ).
Take a ride on STN , ST , GQ , BQ , PT , SS , SD and the other streets and see for yourself ! MANBOD is not interested in doing their part to run the place and keep it clean .
Oil leaks and YELLOW Trash Truck spills of toxic garbage juice for ALL ! Be sure to thank the manager and bod for doing such a great job !

To GUEST : I have just taken 49 pictures of the stains from the big YELLOW TRASH TRUCK . Each stain is marked with a chalk "X" .
A Board member AK asked if the stains are from the trash truck, I responded YES and that we have been trying to get this stopped since the early Spring of 2013. Her reply was that NOBODY has come to the BODs with a complaint .
How blind are these people ? They live in here also .
Do you have to have a vow of ignorance when elected to the BOD ?

What nerve--blaming the messenger for failing to write a letter to BOD to report the ongoing trashing of our park by this vendor ie "no body complained" <whine whine>... There was a major spill right in front of AK's house! This has been going on for months and was reported to IT months ago.

I have just loaded a 62 picture slide show of the Yellow Trash Truck spills to disc and will overnight the Disc to the proper Government Agencies after contacting them by Telephone Monday .
Isn't Modern Technology a wonderful thing ?!
