The Florida truck, seen through the screen.On Friday afternoon, the big white garbage truck with a Tampa, Fla. logo on the door came by to pick up recyclables. Plaintalker first saw this truck in June but did not notice the license plates, which are bright red with white lettering. Between B27 and 605 is a small MAR, presumably meaning March. It has plates front and back.
Maybe the PMUA task force can get to the bottom of why a truck with such odd plates is plying the streets of Plainfield. Is PMUA changing over from leased vehicles? Will it save money? Doesn't this truck need New Jersey plates? Isn't recycling picked up on Wednesdays?
The driver took some time to pore over a sheet of paper (a route schedule?) before taking off.
Mysterious, but certainly no less than the noisy PMUA truck that arrived at 12:43 a.m. on Labor Day, which is a holiday with no pickup scheduled. Luckily for me, I was still up at that hour and so did not have to wake up and say bad words.
We also had trucks come twice to pick up garbage one day. I asked a worker on the second truck why they didn't know the first one had already been there. The answer was that their bosses didn't know what they were doing. Ya think?
Well, let us forgive all today and go to Library Park to enjoy the annual Environmental Fair. I will turn the tables on aggregating Dan and link to his post on the fair.

Bernice: as always, my question is why ratepayers should subsidize shrimp for the PMUA bigwigs and hotdogs for the masses?
ReplyDeleteI'm boycotting the fair. It costs well over $60k for this fair that has shrimp and lobster for the big wigs. Plain and simple the PMUA needs to be shut down!
