Chicago is getting trashed

While many "non-green" Dallas City Council members continue to fight the notion of once-a-week garbage pickup in return for additional waste diversion, matters in Chicago are even worse. According to this story, the city's financial situation is forcing Mayor Daley to lay off 1,000 city employees, most in the streets and sanitation departments. The result, most say, is the city will have to go to once every-other-week garbage collection. Yikes.
