Funny enough the thieves actually use the noise of the trucks to cover the sound of them breaking car windows etc. And NO the garbagemen are not gonna chase down criminals.

Sleep deprivation is used as a form of torture. And "night" pick-ups don't exist. It is actually very early morning pick-ups. In other words, FU citizens.

The late pick-up noise drowns out the gunfire.
Seriously, some of you need to quit bitching about the little stuff. Much bigger things here to get worked up over.

Seven minutes after trash collection was moved from night collection to day collection or evening collection or morning collection there would be a post on here complaining about traffic or noise or both. But thankfully JCList is not a legislative body.

Agree with above. And I lived in New York City all my life up until 2 week ago, and they seem to have found some way around doing 1 AM garbage pickups.

People, it's rather simple, (and I might add a wonderful policy) It's because police cars, fire trucks and ambulances were getting stuck behind traffic caused by garbage trucks. I can't believe people would complain about this, for christ sake, ITS A CITY! But I guess if YOU were in the need of emergency assistance................

I leave my apartment at 7 AM, and there is little to no car traffic, so if they are doing it at that time for traffic purposes, that makes no sense to me. Between 5 and 7 AM, although early, would be far more acceptable and NOMRAL. Or around noontime. Although I am not there at this time, I couldn't imagine the car traffic being too bad.

dont know if it was posted already, but why dont they pick it up at 6-7 pm? most people are home by then and no one should be sleeping? i guess it could interrupt dinner
what about 12-1 pm? most people surely arent home, and if they are im sure they're awake by then

Their logic is to be illogical. But, do not despair, Hrmph. This night time pick up only started a couple years ago, and the recylcing schedule on my block has devolved nearly back to what it was before - between 7-7:30am. And if they "forget" us - somtimes between 8:30 am and 9am.

Actually, yes, I did some research on the "routine", however, the timing of Garbage pickup didn't cross my mind as anything but a reasonable time. It is illogical.

It's the norm. They do overnight pick ups here in Jersey City. Haven't you checked the routine way of doing things in J.C. before moving here ? Hopefully you rent so you can try a different place to live. What brought you here to J.C. in the first place, meaning was it your job or company relocation ? Perhaps they can find you more suitable quarters to settle in.

I wish they picked it up at 6AM, instead last night, at 1:30 AM on 5th street, the garbagemen decided to pick up recycling. Nothing like hearing smashed bottles outside your window. I am new to Jersey City, please tell me this is not the norm, and if so, how on God's sweet Earth this is permitted?

Some people aren't bothered by this at all. They probably aren't light sleepers, or the noise isn't as bad as it may be in other areas of Jersey City.

If they decided to stop picking the garbage up overnight, there would just be another thread posted by someone complaining about how it is causing them problems that they are picking it up during the day.

You misunderstood my post. It had nothing to do with whether there is more uncollected garbage in some "3rd world countries", but rather had to do with tim879's attitude. tim879's comment boils down to the following - "JC is not a 3rd world country, therefore I shouldn't be thankful that I don't live in a mound of trash." The corollary is that if tim879 were to live in a 3rd world country he should be thankful that he doesn't live in a mound of trash. Why the higher standard for those living in JC? In effect, tim879 seems to be saying that because he lives in JC HE DESERVES more and better than people living in countries that he deems to be "3rd world." Hence my comment about his sense of "entitlement." The fact that living in a "3rd world country" has nothing whatsoever to do with garbage collection in JC supports this. Based upon the other comments posted in this thread, many others seem to agree.

A few years ago the garbage men would conveniently pick up the trash between 7:30 and 8:00AM on my block, give or take. Sometimes, they too would be stuck behind a school bus or an overnight double parked car. I remember running very low on gas one morning in 2000 or 2001 and after a half hour of waiting for the guys to finish picking up the trash on my block, school busses loading sleepy kids, and also the wheelchair bus that picked up a few kids up the block, my car ran out of gas up the corner.
womp womp... i'd rather get woken up in the middle of the night than be stuck in traffic on one way streets on the way to work every single morning.

On the contrary, I love it. Although your respose is very boring and quite generic. "City Living" ,as you call it , requires everyone to do their part in keeping their side of the street clean and follow the law to keep order, do to the fact people are living and playing so close to one another. If everyone did as they wanted, regardless of the law, as you say you are going to do with your dog, then chaos ensues and tempers flare. City living is about cooperation.

Did you just call me a hippo?
 Hypocrisy (or the state of being a hypocrite) is the act of preaching a certain belief, religion or way of life, but not, in fact, holding these same virtues oneself. For example, an adult telling children not to smoke cigarettes, even though the adult smokes. Hypocrisy is frequently invoked as an accusation in many contexts. For linguist and social analyst Noam Chomsky, hypocrisy, defined as the refusal to "...apply to ourselves the same standards we apply to others" is one of the central evils of our society--promoting injustices such as war and social inequalities in a framework of self-deception, which includes the notion that hypocrisy itself is a necessary or beneficial part of human behavior and society.
