Single-Day Garbage Pickup Proposal

Summary

A resident warned that one-day-a-week pickup will hit big families hard, clog narrow older streets for 15+ minutes at a time, and attract rodents — suggesting alternate-side parking on pickup days. Councilman Latona says rising costs (about $1 million a year more) may force the conversation anyway.
