" Was bound to happen sooner or later. The way they block the streets when collecting trash (park at an angle when stopped to collect the trash, getting off of the trash truck like they are the only ones on the road). It is a shame it happened. Drivers need to be cautious when they see the trash trucks out and about. Be patient, there is no need to be in a hurry. Your life and the lives of the ones working hard to keep this city clean are to precious. "
