LAIA Board note to Loch Alpine residents about the glass fragments being left on streets following Waste Management trash pickup.
This is a recurring problem that the Board is going to review again with WM to get it resolved as possible. You can help now by participating in this effort:
-for the next 4 weeks, if you notice new glass on the street email robertsendra4746@comcast.net with the exact location, and
-send an email of concern to WM customer service: MiCustS@wm.com.
Here’s last week’s resident communication to WM by a concerned Eastgate Dr. resident:
Spoke with WM Route Supervisor, Mark, this morning (actually, Mark was filling in for Mike, the regular Route Supervisor). He said:
1. One of their guys drove through LA yesterday sweeping up all the glass he could find (I'll double check that next time I go for a walk).
2. The problem is caused by the rubber gasket that's supposed to seal the back of the truck as it opens and closes. The gasket wears out.
3. The truck that has been leaking glass in LA has been taken out of service for repair.
4. They will check the trucks more carefully before they go out to make sure the gaskets are working properly.
5. He has spoken with his crew, reminding them that they are supposed to sweep up any spilled glass immediately ( pointed out that it isn't always readily visible - depends on glass color, viewing angle, etc.).
6. He will be driving behind the truck next Wed. to make sure the problem has been resolved and no glass is left behind.
7. He can always be reached directly on his company cell at 614-935-7855 if the problem recurs.
Mark initiated the call, was reasonable and sincere and seemed genuinely interested in solving the problem, so that's encouraging.
His following update: I got out on the bike this afternoon and noticed a couple of the worst patches of glass were still there, even though the Route Supervisor (Mark) said he had someone sweeping up. There is still a patch in front of LAH Lot 7 and one at the corner of Eastgate & Fairway. The glass is probably harder to spot by someone inside a vehicle vs. someone walking or biking. Plus the patches get dispersed over time by vehicle traffic (not a comforting thought!). I'll call Mark and let him know about it on Monday.
