How the counter works

Three steps.
No phone tree.

  1. 01

    Pick a window

    Five services sit on the counter, numbered one to five. You can see where you are going before you go.

  2. 02

    Give us two or three details

    Your street, your block, the item at the curb. Every window asks for the least it can get away with.

  3. 03

    We hand it to the right crew

    Your report reaches the crew that does that work — sweeping, patching, water or collection.

One counter, five windows: bulk trash, potholes, sweeping, water leaks and recycling.

On the street

If you see it, say it.

Water in the street? Send the exact location and the nearest cross street. That is what the crew needs in order to find the leak and shut it down.
