California: City residents push initiative to make city pay street sweeping costs
Residents plan to pursue a ballot initiative to force the city to pay for street sweeping after the City Council passed on the costs for the services to residents earlier this month. Duarte gave its licensed trash hauler, Burrtec Waste Services, the authority to take over street sweeping duties and begin billing residents directly. The city’s general fund paid for the services before the change was made at the June 8 City Council meeting.
