City Of Paris To Reduce Trash Pickups

The Paris City Council voted to reduce trash pickup to once a week at the recent meeting. The reason is because of a labor shortage. Of 59 workers hired this year, 56 have resigned. City Manager Grayson Path said it’s hard to hire sanitation employees in the summertime because of the hot temperatures. In the winter, it’s difficult because of the cold weather. He added that it doesn’t pay very well.
