CLEVELAND, OH-- A projected $23 million budget gap in the Cleveland city budget could threaten expanded curbside recycling.
Plans for expanded recycling and automated trash pickups with long-armed trucks could depend on the collection rate for a new $8 monthly household trash pickup fee.
The city thinks it will get paid by 85 percent of households.
But Finance Director Sharon Dumas says a lower collection rate could force changes.
Curbside recycling for most of the city was trimmed in 2003 in a cost-cutting move to less than 10 percent of households plus 109 drop-off points.
