Wainwright said he has more
concern about garbage being
dumped in the alley, where the
city no longer picks it up, but he
aid the city anticipated a period
of adjustment.
Wanda Linsey Bostic, an op
ponent of privatizing garbage,
said, "I hope that in two years of
adjustment (the time of the next
election), we will have clean
and safe city (a the Mayor
promised). If not, we will not
only adjust the garbage, but the
'Mayor and City Council, not
only cleaning the garbage in the
treats, but in city hall."
Wainwright admitted that
the promised cans that provided
would be only 30 gallons, not the
45 gallon ones the city originally
planned.
However, Wainwright said,
the city foundthat in bags larger
than 30 gallons, if people put the
garbage in loose, it would be
harder to get them into the
trucks.
When asked, he admitted
that some people were having
trouble getting all their garbage
in th 30 gallon containers and
were buying extra ones them-

problem.
