trash carts

The 96-gallon trash cart initiative has been approved. Corey Driscoll Dunham talks about the changes the city will go through and addresses residents concerns.

The city is preparing to deliver large trash carts to about 6,800 residents in select neighborhoods as part of the first phase of the program. One of the big sticking points has been the feasibility of providing the carts to apartment buildings with up to 10 units.

This week, a 3.8 earthquake centered east of Buffalo in the suburb of West Seneca at about Monday; Gov. Kathy Hochul visited Syracuse touting her executive budget; Micron revealed details of their plans at two town hall events in Onondaga County.

The semi-automated sanitation program would change a city ordinance, and limit trash service to properties with up to three units.

About 10,000 carts will be delivered to households this spring in certain neighborhoods.
