DETROIT, MI -- The upcoming privatization of garbage collection in Detroit has some city employees skipping work, leaving trash pickup services behind schedule, officials said Saturday.
The city's Department of Public Works Director Ron Brundidge issued a statement saying trash collection is about two days behind schedule, in part because of extra bulk trash and yard waste that normally comes this time of year.
There's also been a slowdown due to some workers staying home, he said.
"Due to the upcoming transition to privatized trash collection in the city, we also have been experiencing a large number of DPW employees not showing up for work," Brundidge said.
