I haven't had trash pick up since the Blizzard. I don't have that many trash cans, I have enough to get by, but it's been how many weeks? Where does the city get off?

apparently, it was sort of back to normal last week. At least, they drove by my trash in the front and we had to take it around back to be collected.
