City Commission to approve 885000 trash cart purchase
Lawrence officials move to spend 885 490 to buy 21 000 wheeled plastic carts for most households. If approved, distribution could start in October as part of a plan to replace cans and bags with mandated carts and reduce workers compensation claims from heavy lifting. City Commissioner Mike Dever cites safer lifting via hydraulic dump systems on trucks. Some residents oppose the mandate, saying carts may not fit their needs.
