The problem: waste management comes to our neighborhood in Grayton twice per week in the 5am hour. They beep and crunch garbage and shake cans for an average of 15-20 min each time. Each time I wake up and unfortunately cannot go back to bed, therefore I loose about 4 hours of sleep each week.Nothing else wakes me up - their trucks are incredibly loud, just as a point of reference.
What has been done so far: I contacted waste management at the corporate level. They were very nice said they understood and would take care of the problem. Then I was contacted by the Freeport location and he basically told me too bad, if it's not you and your neighbors at 5:30am it will be someone else. I said what about the construction noise ordinance that does not allow for noise before 7am? He said this does not apply to garbage disposal.
I am soooo tired and each time they come get more and more enraged. I feel like I am being tortured twice a week by waste management! Do any of you have any thoughts about how I might be able to resolve this, that do not involve me going to jail!
On a side note: a sanitation worker was jailed in GA for picking up garbage that early in the morning. While I think that is ridiculous, it does show me that other places find it unacceptable to cause that much of a disturbance at that time of day! There has to be some recourse here!
