Trash collection

==Background==
* Trash Collection in the city of Pittsburgh is called Environmental Services.
===Privatize 10%===
* In 2005, the Oversight board inserted a provision into the future city's operation that aims to take 10-percent of the city and privatize the garbage collection. This is a pilot program. In a couple of years, 33-percent of the city should be privatized.
* In 2006, the bids from the private operators came. The private firms made higher bids than the city workers bid. City workers are going to hold onto the contract and continue to pick up the trash throughout the city.
===Corruption risks?===
What are the chances of the mafia doesn't get the contracts? Let's hope organized crime leaders will be too worried about the slots casinos to fuss about garbage collection.
