Please tell me WHY the City of Irving needs TWO trash collections each week?

Q: Please tell me WHY the City of Irving needs TWO trash collections each week? In my 66 years of life, the suburbs I have lived in only needed ONE residential trash service per week. Is Irving really this trashy of a city?

NORMAL cities provide a large plastic garbage and recycle can on wheels to their residents. NORMAL cities provide a garbage truck that can lift those plastic garbage cans into their garbage truck without needing human labor. NORMAL cities don’t force their citizens to buy garbage and recycling plastic bags, which is a HUGE WASTE OF MONEY AND PLASTIC IN LANDFILLS. WHY is the City of Irving A.B. NORMAL?

We’ve heard the City of Irving has a City Council full of ignorant liberals. Did they flunk Economics 101?

A: Thank you for your concern with the City of Irving’s Solid Waste department. The service that is provided to residents for trash pick up is set by City Council. This email will be shared with City Council and the Solid Waste Services Department.
