See Recycling Chronicles, Part I
I just got off the phone with 3-1-1…but by using the long number, 305-468-5900. I think 311 doesn’t go through for me because I have Vonage as my phone provider. Anyway, I had needed to call to follow up on my Recycling questions, but my biggest motivation for calling was the poor little dead animal on the side of Brickell Ave. It’s been there for 3 days.
My hold time was about 3 minutes before someone picked up (very nice person, by the way). I told her about the animal, the location, my address, name, and phone number. She gave me a ticket number and said that Animal Control will be dispatched within 24 hours.
I then asked her about recycling - more specifically, trying to understand if condos are required to recycle, and if there is a place for me to recycle. She couldn’t really help me and referred me to Solid Waste, with whom I spoke in Part I of this series.
This time I’m really still at the same place that I started. Next time, in Part III, I either need to speak with my property manager again, or I will contact some recycling providers directly. (Other alternatives: try to catch the trash guys someday and chat and/or talk to my neighbors.)
