Columbus may cut back trash collection

The City of Columbus has a plan to slash fuel costs by scaling back trash collection. A plan to reduce garbage pick-up from twice to once a week would save about $680,000 dollars. Residents pay a $14 dollar monthly fee for the service, which would stay the same. Officials say they'll implement the proposal in October, if it's voted in.
