In a perfect world, our homes would have picket fences and pristine lawns. They would be in safe residential neighborhoods but just a short sidewalked stroll from a grocery store, a library and a good school. A garbage dump wouldn’t be anywhere near, nor would train tracks or the airport. The hospital with blaring ambulance sirens would be out of hearing distance.

New Kensington’s garbage hauler fired two employees after residents reported thefts of a package and Christmas lights, the company and city officials confirmed Thursday.
It makes for a troubling start for the new one-year contract between New Kensington and County Hauling, which council approved in December despite past concerns over the company’s service.
“In my opinion, this is 100% completely unacceptable,” Councilman Todd Mentecki said. “I’m hoping this is an isolated incident.”
City Clerk Dennis Scarpiniti said a resident reported a County Hauling employee took a package from their front porch last week. Christmas lights were taken in another incident.
