Annexed resident got the service he expected
As a new, forcibly annexed resident of Greensboro, I have received exactly the quality of service I expected.
I live on a dead-end street which has always been a dump site for all types of garbage, from 55-gallon drums of fish carcasses to photo albums from first marriages. Before annexation, when we had such a “drop-off,” I would call N.C. Road Maintenance and they would have it cleaned up within 24 hours (great job, guys).
That was until we were annexed.
We are now part of the city of Greensboro and have access to all of its quality-of-life-enhancing municipal services, one of which is roadside cleanup. I notified Greensboro’s street-cleaning and litter-collecting division the second week of July that the area needed to be cleaned up. I have called three times since. They finally told me two weeks ago that they had a list of dump sites and they would get to it when it came up on the list.
It has been almost six weeks and it is still there, waiting on more.
Thanks Greensboro, for nothing.

The Bulk Waste guys are too busy picking up perfectly good furniture, tools, mowers, etc. from every high-end home in the city, putting it in their trucks and crushing it, then driving it to the land fill.
