“Any ideas on how to get them to deliver or whether or not I should fight the fine?”

“Dear PoPville,

I bought a house in late February that had to be renovated. I was unaware that bins could be obtained for free within 90 days of purchasing a property; I missed that boat as the renovation took 6 months. I ordered and paid for the bins 12 days before I moved in (the website says that delivery would take place within 5-7 business days of the order). I have been in the house since the beginning of October and still do not have bins that were ordered more than a month ago. Numerous calls and emails to DPW Dept of Solid Waste and still nothing. They state they are a little behind in delivery. The only actual delivery I have received was a certified letter from DPW with a fine for improper storage of solid waste. Any ideas on how to get them to deliver or whether or not I should fight the fine?”
