Auburn should combine trash, recycling pick-up

Wednesday, June 18, 2008 11:40 AM EDT

Regarding trash pick-up. Why does the city have to make two passes to pick up garbage and recyclables? Why is the city wasting gas (tax dollars) because they have to use two trucks to do the procedure? Why can't the city haul a recyclable trailer behind the garbage truck so the whole trash pick-up is done at the same time? This is done in the City of Cortland and I'm sure they are saving gasoline (tax) dollars. Think outside the box, Auburn!
