And I Don't Even Have to Set an Alarm
Thanks to Apartment 12's proximity to a (mostly-empty) office complex, I am awakened every Monday morning by the trashmen emptying the dumpsters in their noisy truck. This would normally be preferable to awaking to a buzzing alarm, but I do not normally set my alarm for 5:30 AM. Aren't there some sort of noise ordinances that are supposed to prevent stuff like this from happening? If I went out at 5:30 AM with an air horn and ran up and down the street with it, someone would call the cops and they'd make me stop. With tasers if necessary. Does anyone know the proper avenues to pursue in order to get the noisy garbagemen to at least wait until the sun comes up?

I think you're basically SOL, since dumptrucks (aka street maintenance vehicles) are empowered by the city and thus exempt from all noise ordinances. But for future resources, here's the link to the St. Louis Refuse Division and the laws of St. Louis (available at the St. Louis Public Library).

Speaking of dumpsters, did you notice today that one of the 323 Clara dumpsters had been turned on its side?

Fantastic, I hope it's not blocking the gate like it was one time.
