Guest	Posted: Sat, Sep 20 2008, 3:27 pm EDT    Post subject: Re: Garbage Trucks before 7 AM I don't know I guess it's a matter of you get accustomed or you realize where you live. I live on S. Main. The trucks are no more than 2-3 minutes and move on and the traffic. Well, the noise you adjust to, but the speed needs to come down and be better inforced.

The trucks qualify as loud. We just need to complain to get the ordinance enforced.
S. Main Res.	Posted: Tue, Sep 9 2008, 9:24 pm EDT    Post subject: Re: Garbage Trucks before 7 AM I live on S. Main so I hear traffic all the time. I can understand the noise issue though. It is my understanding that the town has no control over Midco since we contract out privately and there's not a lot the town can do since this does not fall under the noise ordinance as written. The best bet is to try and get residents and then go to midco as a signed petition of purchasers. If we had town garbage then we'd have a better leg to stand on as the town as a purchaser could make a request in their contract with the provider. I know towns that do this and dictate no collection prior to 8am.
Guest 2	Posted: Tue, Sep 9 2008, 9:17 pm EDT    Post subject: Garbage Trucks before 7 AM Now that the weather is nice enough to sleep with the windows open, is there any one else out there tired of hearing the garbage trucks on Saturday mornings before 7 AM. It is against the town noise ordinance for these trucks to be making all that noise before 7 AM. If you are tired of having your quiet sleep disturbed, contact the Town Adminstrator and let her know. The complaints need to roll in so a summons can be issued and MIDCO will stop disturbing the peace.
