Jackson, Ms is jacked up (Merged)

Fwiw, trash pickup problems are in a lot of metro areas. We're have similar issues with frequent missed pickups from multiple trash companies. And that's Fairfax County. Can't imagine how bad it would be in other localities with far less funding.
Jackson isn't just a missed pickup. If the contract proposal from the mayor's office gets rejected by the city council then it could take a few months to get another proper bid and there would be no trash pickup for those several months. Private companies are already filling the void in Jackson.
