How do you reduce collections from 21 times a week to 3 times a week (more than an 80% reduction) for a city the size of Philadelphia and only save 900k?
They don't mention it, but I assume collections take a lot longer. My parents used to have a trash compactor in the kitchen, and let me tell you taking out a 90 lb. block of trash once every three weeks was way worse than tossing a 10 lb. bag every other day.
Sweet stink! How do trash compactors deal with rotting food accumulating for much longer times?
I have no personal experience with trash compactors, but it seems like compacted trash would have poor oxygen exchange that would inhibit decomposition.
