The strength of a well-run city is its ability to handle small issues like trash. I think we all can agree that trash collection is a small issue as it relates to establishing processes to pick up trash. It is in no way as complex as health care delivery or fixing our schools. Yet many parts of Ward 4 have trash collection issues. Our commercial corridors only get swept once a week. Most alleys are seldom swept or it swept at all. Where you find trash and litter, you will find crime and low economic development. As a result, the first step to any crime fighting or economic development palm is its trash collection practice.
To learn more about the trash collection procedure, Milligan began his Ward 4 Services Tour of Duty on March 23, 2007. At 11:30 pm, Milligan helped the DPW crew assigned to Ward 4 collect trash. He spoke with the crew about what they were expected to accomplish. He asked questions about the working conditions and about the educational opportunities that are available to them. Each member of the crew expressed a desire to do the very best job they could.
Milligan is committed to getting Ward 4 clean. He will work to understand why the city struggles to keep our ward clean.
