City considers amendment to trash law over poultry waste
City Council will discuss a proposed amendment to the trash ordinance after poultryman Leo Fuchs warned the current rule exempts poultry and produce houses from pickup. He dumps waste at $1 per load, prompting weekly trips and high costs. Health officer Dr. David Shapiro noted the service is a health function, not a profit. The council asked the city attorney to draft an amendment enabling a $4 per month commercial rate for self-haulers to use the dump.
