Garbage Truck Delay again

Good Day
I woke up at twelve in the morning to throw out the trash. But I just took a shower and slept for two more hours. It was about six in the morning when I took out the trash.
But it was lunchtime and the garbage truck still hadn't picked up the trash I took out. This is where I'm annoyed because it seems like they've gone back to the way they were before and we're not a priority again. The street here is a main road. They don't bother waiting for people to throw out trash or for stray dogs to destroy the trash.
I'm just venting my frustration because it's not a good look to have trash lying around outside all night. But I can't ignore it because sometimes the garbage truck comes early.
Have a nice day

Yes, they should follow a strict schedule so that people in the area know when to bring out their trash.

Hello @brokenbee Unfortunately Their schedule is not clear. Now a days it's either late morning, afternoon or the next day.

@Letranknight2015 They should not change their schedules as that might confuse the residents.

@cacay1 yup... If they can do their job well, they should give it to others who are deserving...

Totally get your frustration—it’s hard to stay calm when you’re doing your part and the system doesn’t seem to meet you halfway. You wake up early, plan around it, and still end up with the same mess outside your door. That would test anyone’s patience.
But sometimes, when things feel out of our hands, the only real peace comes from letting go of what we can’t control. That doesn’t mean not caring—it just means not letting it stick to you more than it needs to. You did what you could. The rest? It belongs to someone else’s responsibility.
It’s okay to feel annoyed, to vent—but it’s also okay to step back, take a breath, and not carry that frustration further than it deserves. Wishing you a smoother day ahead—and a timely garbage truck next round.

The reason I'm annoyed was because of stray dogs and homeless messing with it. Specially those who would scavenge for something they can sell to the junkshop. Others are passersby who would throw trash in there adding to the filth. I do understand @rsa101 which is why I'm ranting here instead.

The garbage truck will pick up the trash don't worry. Here in my place , the garbage truck use to come here and pick up the garbages maybe 3-4 times a week and we live beside a middle class compound.
