Charlotte Pike Dumpster
by
After months of trying to get a Nashville dumpster company to pick up the trash, a Charlotte Pike business owner was at his wit’s end.
Dennis Salisbury said the dumpster had been on the side of his Diving-Ski shop for months. Trash was overflowing and spilling onto the parking lot.
Salisbury complained to Metro Public Works. They told him they couldn’t help because the dumpster was on private property.
The business man complained to Metro Health. They told him the same thing, and explained that he could be cited for the mess.
“They said, unfortunately, the overflow dumpster is our responsibility. If trash goes on the ground, we could be cited for it.”
Salisbury said that when he could get the dumpster officials on the phone, they lied to him about coming to pick up the receptacle.
“We call repeatedly. He says they missed us, and they’ll be out this afternoon, and they never come, month after month. We called and they say they would be out the day we called or next day. Week after week, no show. Then no answer on the phone. I faxed them.”
Andy called the dumpster company and surprisingly someone answers.
He told the man on the other end that Mr. Salisbury wants this dumpster out of there now. The man says he’ll get right on it. Andy hung up and told this to Salisbury, who says that is a typical response.
By the time we got back to News 2, there was a message on my phone from an elated Mr. Salisbury. He said the company was at the shop picking up the dumpster.
What Salisbury couldn’t get done in 3 months, That Is Messed Up accomplished in less than one hour.
Glad to help, Mr. Salisbury.
