    This may not be the best forum, so please move it if there is a more suitable place to ask this question.

    I live in an apartment complex and the managment company has contracted a private waste management firm to collect rubbish. The trucka are coming at 4am in the morning, and given that my window is very close to where they load up, i'm constantly being awoken by them.

    complaints to the management company have falled on deaf ears.

    can i persue any other courses of action?

    Some waste companies have to get in and out of the city before 7am iirc.

    Don't know what the official line is on it though, but I do remember from experience that we we given the option of having the waste collected at 5am on a Thursday morning or 9pm on a Sunday eve.

    If it was at 7am or 8am you'd have people complaining that the trucks are blocking the roads.
    They just can't win. 4am is a strange time though

    You can bring it before the council, I would also suggest calling the bin company directly too and see if there is anything you can arrange.
    I have been through this.
