The commenter you replied to very clearly is talking about more frequently street sweeping to help keep blown away refuse from collecting in the streets, not as a way for all trash/recycling to be handled.

I'm sorry, you are completely delusional. I don't even want to start on a rant about how wrong you are. You want to sweep the trash away? 🤦‍♀️

Unpopular opinion, but wheelie bins in a city with a LOT of multi-family properties will turn trash day into chaos. Imagine 3-6 bins, per house, lined up side-by-side on a sidewalk. Where do the people walk? What if cars are blocking the truck arm's access to the bin? Those questions aside, it's a LOT of bins lined up on the street. Bonus round, there is not one singular trash day in Worcester, so this scenario will become part of the city landscape.

I'm not saying our current recycling system is great, but I am saying that wheelie bins are more than "I can cram a lot of stuff in here and it probably stays put!" (note: I've lived in places with the wheelie bins and they are also no match for a good gust of wind)

Now, if Worcester had street sweeping on a schedule that was more frequent than, say, twice a year, there would absolutely be less trash piled up in the streets and, thus, less discussion on whether or not our recycling bins are the problem.

I guess none would be the answer I guess.

I like Antonios for more unique stuff and Atlas pizza for general easy good priced pizza.

I always get slices from the counter when I walk and and its never soggy.

for what its worth tbe dentist did a great job. i didnt feel a thing. even though tooth was cracking in half. it also only took about 10-15 mins. just wish it didnt cost me over $800

Lmao their name is so original

You can refuse the graft. My partner had 2 molars pulled there and they pressured us to get them; every time we said no, both verbally and in writing. No graft was given.

They do seem to try to pad the bill. We just refuse and demand the basic services we desire; haven't had a problem with them (yet), but are constantly wary.

The graft is only nessicary for getting an implant in that spot. This place is starting to sound a lot like Aspen Dental

if its any consolation I paid out of pocket for an extraction of a rear molar at a different dentist and it was $900 - that is about the standard price these days with the graft thing - also had a tooth pulled a long time ago without the graft and it was a horribly painful experience (Dry socket, ouch!)

I really appreciate this - I am not gonna take this sitting down - so egregious and so predatory - I am still shocked

I went there once. Did not like them. I didn't get ripped off this bad but they did make me do the weird-ass scan thing even though I was just there for a cleaning.

They also sent me something that looked like a bill and had an exorbitant amount of money listed on it, but in one spot it said something like "NOT A BILL" so I just ignored it. Still have no idea what that thing was but this was years ago now and they've never made me pay that bill so I guess it actually wasn't a bill.

They did. They're called Shrewsbury Dentistry.

I also got a crown done by him that I hate. They also upgraded the material used for the crown which was not covered and I paid OOP. That second part is on me. I should have caught that or it would have been nice if they explained that and given me the option to upgrade and I would have probably done it anyway. Currently looking for a new dentist.

Name them so we all know which one it is. Business like this have to be exposed hard.

i had to get one of my back molars pulled there. the pain was unbearable and they were the first to get me an appt. never want that pain again. thought it was gonba be around $150 but they made me get the graft?? it came out to be over $800. i had to make monthly payments for 6 months.

Nowhere I have ever worked has cared about BBB complaints. That is probably even less effective than a bad google review.

Yea, the BBB is essentially fancy-Yelp. They're not part of or connected to any government agencies, they're literally just a ratings site, and you can pay $600 to get an A+ rating. They offered it to me when I had my business.

Please see my comments with useful links. I think you should report them also.

That really bites (pun intended)!
I don't know how much pull BBB has. Might as well go full bore and complain with the AG, board of health and the dental board!
I found these links for you:

Once you get through filing all these, they're going to be sorry they needled you.

I have a cleaning appointment coming up which I think I’m going to cancel. Michael Beluch gave me a ridiculously off center crown a few months ago. Also last year they told me one price for a root canal, then a much higher price over the phone a few weeks later, and then a completely different price when it came time to pay day of operation. They did end up honoring the first price which leads me to believe they’re picking numbers out of the air. My initial visit was only $59 though so I’d give them a call and see if it was an error/malicious.

They even spelled “molar” wrong on my paperwork.

Tbh, I think you should, and if it is the result of a single person, or few people, then they should be exposed and questioned why they are choosing to leave so many others literally out in the cold. People are dying. That's definitely worth digging through your notes.

I grew up in New York. I don’t see much difference between MA and NY bagels. The bagels are much worse when you leave the Northeast.

100% self appointed tried it once and never again lol
