Behind the Headlines

As I drive around the city and see piles and piles of debris left at the curb, I’m reminded this will be a tough week for refuse companies picking up trash.

They can’t always rely on their automated systems to pick up the extra trash and will have to get out of their trucks and physically handle each item…
