You might not think that trash pick would be a problem in downtown Salisbury.
But the City Council will be taking up such trash issues at its meeting today.
But Ryan Patton picks up a week’s worth of garbage with his truck and drives the load from his downtown Salisbury apartment to a trash bin in Ocean City – 30 minutes away.
The reason? He told the Salisbury Daily Times that there is no trash pickup available to residents and businesses on the city’s Downtown Plaza.
But there are plans in the works.
Mayor Jim Ireton says Public Works Department officials have begun looking at where to put a garbage bin.
He adds that no other multi-family complex currently gets city trash pickup and that the city must control access to the bin so that it is not getting trash from somewhere else.
