Night Trash Runs Face Heat and Hassles | Jamaica News

Nighttime garbage collection is a hot fix for unbearable heat—but it’s messy, dangerous, and frustrating for everyone. Workers face poor visibility, parked cars, and hazardous trash tossed into bins, while residents complain about noise and stench after dark. Daytime crews are safer, with clearer sightlines and fewer obstacles, but the shift change means piles of trash are piling up—like in Manchester, where some neighborhoods haven’t seen a truck since late May. Even when trucks do arrive, they’re overwhelmed; one trip cleared just one massive pile, leaving others untouched. The waste authority admits mistakes and vehicle issues are to blame, asking for patience as they scramble to restore service.
