City workers will continue to collect all of Pittsburgh's garbage. A trash collection bid from the city's Environmental Services Division beat proposals from private trash haulers Waste Management Services of North Huntingdon and Allied Waste Industries, formerly BFI, of McDonald, city officials said today. ..... The biggest factor in the city's successful bid was the proposal of a four-day work week for garbage collectors, who currently work five, Klimovich said. (UB)
