Trash bins left curbside for weekly pickup are being stolen in Bakersfield, leaving some homeowners paying for replacement. Yessica Reedy, who has had her bin stolen three times and has repeatedly contacted the city to resolve the issue, has had to pay a replacement fee of about $95. Reedy argues that the system lacks clear tracking and that serial numbers are not tied to her payment, leading to repeated charges. The city has responded by asking for a change in its replacement policy.
