City auditor releases nearly 300 page audit and suggests the city be more proactive to collect licensing fees that generate revenue for the city's general fund.

The City of Syracuse is about to implement Phase Two of its uniform trash carts for automated trash pick-up

The soft roll-out of the new trash carts in Syracuse has been successful for the most part. However, the new initiative is facing some minor challenges.

The city began phase one of its semi-automated trash collection system in early June. Crews began issuing warning stickers, then fines to violators who don't bag their trash before placing it in the cart, or leave bags outside the carts.

Residents began using the new trash carts June 5. The rollout has been nearly two years in the making.

New covered trash carts aimed at reducing sanitation worker injuries to be distributed to Syracuse residents throughout the last week of May.

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.
