missed pickup

jessica
hi.

it seems like you missed a recycle pickup today at 805 marion. the thing is i'm not quite sure what to do with it. i can't take it back inside, it's been sitting outside all day.

do you do missed pickups the day after, if they're pointed out to you? or do i need to find some other way to dispose of it?

Good Morning Jessica,

Thank you for your e-mail. You may call 311 to report any missed garbage or recycle. It will be assigned to a Supervisor of your area for further investigation.

i'm sorry, but i don't have access to an inside telephone and it's a little cold to stand outside. is there an email address i can contact, instead?

i mean, otherwise the stuff is going to have to sit outside until monday at the earliest.

(pause)

never mind, i braved the cold and they're going to come get it.

BUT

it would be useful if there was a website people could go to to report something like this. it would be a simple form to fill out and would probably cut down on costs for the city, too...

Yes there is a site available at http://www.citywindsor.ca/
Type in 311 in the search bar top right if you read down the page there is a link 311 online that has a form for you to fill in and send to the call centre.
