After a San Diego resident said a city trash truck destroyed his trash container, he turned to Team 10 to get answers about who is responsible for paying for a replacement.
I asked my collector why my bins were being crushed. He told me, its because your bins are against the curb between vehicles and we cannot reach them, similar to what is happening in this video; truck too far away from bin... I said, "it says on the lid to place next to curb." His response, yeah, we hate that, if its next to curb between vehicles, we have to make multiple grabs to pull the bin away from the curb, which may crush and crack the bin." My bins are now 5-6' away from the curb; problem solved. I get a nice waive from my collector, who is a really nice guy, everyone is happy. Never hurts to ask.
New trucks are coming into service that have a blue stripe which use a different arm design that seems a bit gentler on the bins. These trucks are also going to be used for yard/green/food waste. Residents will be getting new bins starting in January for Wednesday collection days. These new bins will also be shared for yard waste so you will need to stop using your own container for that service. Bins will be handed out for months on end finishing up with Tuesday service.
Along with 50% of other san diegans with broken bins. I talked to a seller of trash trucks and he let me know its the truck operators and the adjustable clamp force that breaks the bins. Also we pay for trash abc10 don’t insult us property tax payers with a BS comment like that.
Us San Diego City home homeowners don’t pay for trash I never knew it was only residence of the city. I have family in national city, Chula Vista and lakeside & they all have to pay a fee every month for trash
@@gcristian929gmail the city takes it out of our house taxes. They used to say that on out tax bill but they don't say it anymore but it is still taken out.
Unless something’s changed the Black ones are replaced for free (trade out) but you need to pay to replace the Blue Recycle Bins. It was that way like 6-7 years ago in San Diego.
The trash cans that came with my house lasted over 15 years or longer than the ones I replaced them with two years ago. They are utter trash no pun intended
I live in small town central Cal. Garbage collector broke off our lid. We got a replacement in a couple days. Don’t let the over populated cesspools like LA, San Francisco, San Diego, and Sacramento define California.
I hope they no longer provide Free Garbage collection that way they have no excuse to not replace carts for free! Plus there is no such thing as free. Tax payers pay for it.

When you drive up my street you see trash can after can tapped together. This is city wide.
Same in my city also smh
In the past 2 weeks the trash truck has destroyed 2 of my bin lids. Now i have a recycle and trash can with no lids until i can get new ones
They started putting notes on his can because he complained. I see broken cans all the time with no notes stuck to them.

If the service damages or destroys cans make them pay for them.
It has been happening for last 20 years
Waste Management sends out a replacement bin at no charge to the customer.

We'll the reason why they don't care is when you buy the carts that money goes to the drivers
I’m in St. Louis and my trash can is over 10 years old and still hasn’t broke something ain’t add up

You got it wrong, it is the black ones that you have to pay for but blue bins are free.
@@michaelhorgan9525 Thanks for the correction.
Just paint your green and blue bins black. Problem solved.

We get ours replaced at no charge in El cajon 😸
why can't the driver get out of the truck and remove it?!!?
Dude why is California doing everything wrong?
Because they always vote Democrat.

If a bin is damaged in my city by the truck they just give you a new one
San Diego sucks

It problems from the city no one care.
Start taking your own trash to the dump wait in line for hours . Not all cans will make it quit crying.
