(Pittsburgh, PA) The City Council of Pittsburgh got responses from residents on Wednesday about neighborhoods having both trash and litter in them and how they could be cleaner. This occurred at a public hearing in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh City Councilman Bob Charland confirms that picking up trash is accomplished by the Pittsburgh Department of Public Works, but the priority is low for doing that. Charland also noted that in a time that will be soon, the Pittsburgh City Council will look into the matter and that he is not certain if a solution that is legislative is possible.
