City mulls weekly trash pickup to cut costs
Curran says complaints dropped from about 100 to 120 per month to two or three monthly after switching to once weekly trash collection. If demand returns to twice a week, rates could rise. The city would need a new truck and driver at the cost of 25 000 to 27 000 yearly. Recycling centers and drop offs are listed citywide.
