It's A Garbage Truck... No, It's A Plow
There was a letter to the editor in yesterday's Spokesman-Review (which I can't find now) about how the cities of New York and Detroit attach plows to the front of garbage trucks when they have storms. The trucks plow their way to each garbage stop, killing two birds with one stone.
Very interesting, but how feasible is that for Spokane? I contacted the City Street Department to ask, but probably won't hear back until tomorrow since the City is closed for the holiday today. I'll give an update when I know more.
