Just wanted to show some love for the solid waste department of HRM. My green bin got a broken wheel and was rejected last collection day. I called HRM to ask about getting it repaired and spoke to the friendliest woman who put in a repair request right away...which is free! Unfortunetly, on the HRM website it says you have to clean out the bin before you can get it repaired and so I asked about this. The woman put me through to the man who dealt with this and gave me his number right away so that I could see if they could do it without me having to dig throuhg gross compost. He got in touch and he was extremely friendly too and said he would send someone out right away to dump it and save me the trouble of shovelling out my own compost bin. So, I know people complain a lot about our city but the people down at solid waste really have their shit together! Thanks again - you made my day all of you.
