Manager Rob Hernandez had suggested that the council consider adopting a call-for-pickup procedure to make sure bulk trash and yard waste is picked up.
But council members opted to force the issue, rather than ask residents to make appointments to have big items lugged away. Everybody is blaming us . there s trash all over the place, you ve got people calling and complaining, Gunter said, addressing his remarks to a Waste Pro manager. The fact of the matter is we signed a contract for you to pick up the trash each week on a designated day and that s not happening.
Fines collected under the council s new rule would go to lower the next year s trash contract price.

Independent journalism is needed now more than ever.
“It’s been an incredibly challenging year for everyone, and the LGBT+ community has been disproportionately affected, so it feels right that we create events that will focus on community, giving us all the chance to reconnect but also to be loud, proud and visible once more.”
