ADVANCED DISPOSAL Trash Collection problems in Canton

Is Advanced Disposal on their way OUT for servicing Canton?

Trash cans should be returned to the residents property, not left in the street.

ADVANCED DISPOSAL UPDATE

Canton City Councilmember, Sandy McGrew Ward 1 has replied on the topic of Advanced Disposal and that is added to the site for the information of any Canton residents. Obviously anyone having issues with Advanced should let officials at City know their concerns.

The Mayor, City Manager and Mrs McGrew all have indicated City displeasure at the performance of the Advanced Disposal firm and it may be that their tenure at Canton will be short if they do not improve.
Below is my reply to the Councilmember and her earlier email to me.

Subject: HOLLY MILL - Advanced Disposal Trash Collection, 2nd Complaint to City
Thank you for your input on this Advanced Disposal problem.

The streets in these subdivisions are not overly broad to start with and drivers dodging trash cans should not be necessary as it would only take a few seconds more to put them back onto the residents property.I was somewhat disappointed in a prior reply from City that ". . . if the homeowner placed the can in the roadway, it was placed back in the roadway" .

I can assure you that residents do NOT set our trash cans out in the roadway.By now I am sure that Advanced has heard from the City on this issue, they have heard from me at Advanced HQ and said that the info would be passed down to the local GM for this area.

So perhaps between input from City and community members the pick up crews will be doing a better job in the coming week.

Appreciate your interest and if you happen to get a Advanced reply I would be interested in adding it to both my Community Facebook page and the Holly Mill blogsite.

Mr. Harris,
Thank you for letting us know that this issue is still going on. We will ask staff to look into it. We are aware that Advanced has not performed as well as expected.

I am watching to see if there are self improvements after the take over by Waste Mgt is in full effect. We will definitely take into consideration their performance when it comes time to review the contract.
