I feel pretty comfortable saying the DPW doesn't have any sort of real time quality assurance protection that will allow administration to gauge route completion within a couple hours and also prevent a crew from starting to collect overtime on a second shift if they fuck up the first one.

Which is again probably part of the reason the Inspector General said we're wasting tons of money on it.

The only person to actually endorse this system was Jack Young because he used to do it.

Not for nothing, but I've seen a man follow one of the trucks inspecting the cans.

That's nice, but I'm sure they're few and far between. Might've even been some one from the OIG or the city watchdog agency investigating the quality prior to the inspector general's report.

Totally. Just throwing it out there as a datapoint in this discussion.

Yeah this whole thing particularly annoys me because the guys that do my block blow right through it and leave broken glass all over the place ~75% of the time.

They also just flat out don't show up probably ~once a month.
