City faces leaf pickup proposal with fees and curb disposal plan
Cedar Rapids considers a plan to end free leaf pickup in fall and let residents use Yardy carts and sacks for disposal. Under Thomas proposal, four weeks of curb pickup in 2004 and two weeks in 2005 would precede a 2006 end, with residents paying for sacks and city crews collecting at no extra charge. Mayor Pate opposes the change, citing fairness and budget impacts, while officials note water quality aims and comparisons to other cities.
