Question, do you use city trash pickup or does your landlord provide a dumpster? If your house has a dumpster and doesn’t use or qualify for trash pickup that may be why waste management isn’t picking up the items. They may have scheduled it when they shouldn’t have.

If you do have city trash cans/pickup call PVD311 with the confirmation number and the day it should have been picked up. They escalate it to WM that they didn’t do their job (and probably charged providence for a pick up they didn’t do) and they also will look for and reverse any tickets you may have gotten for trash being out on the sidewalk. They did this for me when WM didn’t pick up my mattresses and I had to be out of the house in two days or so- a truck came and got them within hours.

It’s city trash pickup every Friday, so not sure why it hasn’t been picked up. Only thing I can think of is the lady said they’d pick it up on Friday, I asked if she was sure it wasn’t Saturday because of the holiday, and she confirmed Friday. Maybe that was the issue. I figured the trash dudes would see a message for Friday and just know to pick it up on Saturday since that’s when they’d be here.

I’ll try again tomorrow and if that doesn’t work will use your 311 advice.

Thanks for the help!
