I don't know if they have ever stated the actual value of the city fleet damaged in Harvey, but I heard it was about 30% of the solid waste trucks and millions in cars parked in the COH parking garage.CowtownAg06 said:

Here's an article on the delays. There are some other good ones out there. Lots of excuses from the city. All of them are either to total BS (everything ran fine until Dec 2018, but it's Harvey's fault?!?!?!) or were foreseeable and nothing done.
I am sure the insurance did not cover that so we get to just guess at when our trash will be picked up.
Luckily I was home last Sunday, January 6 and heard the recycling truck that was supposed to come on 12/31 and ran out to take the can back out to the street.
