I was recently interviewed by WTTW’s Jay Shefski of the Chicago Tonight program and we discussed the city’s method of garbage collection. Currently the city picks up trash by Ward: a task anyone familiar with the Ward boundaries would recognize as unnecessarily complex. This method is inefficient and expensive. Too many man hours and too much gas money is wasted as drivers are forced to traverse the gerrymandered Ward limits and drive from one end of the Ward to the other. During this interview I propose a new grid-based system of garbage collection which will save the city millions of dollars and ensure more efficient services.
