This claim has not been checked. It is waiting on the question below, which is what a brief, a body of evidence and a panel run are spent on.
Its questionGoing ahead
The City's collection calendars and program history show how often each stream is picked up and whether garbage went from weekly to every two weeks, and its waste audits show how full carts get; one household's dump runs and one family's diaper volume can't be checked and will be dropped.

The question it is checked under

we have to do usually a dump run or two in between garbage weeks. It’s crazy to me that it’s bi weekly.
