Mayor Jean Stothert has been talking with Omaha's waste collector, Waste Management today and asked for a plan of action today to pick up all the delayed collections and get back on schedule.
The number of complaints about lack of service is growing. Waste Management delayed recycling collections Monday and Tuesday. The collector is focusing on trash and yard waste as they catch-up after last week's hail storm. That and the Memorial Day holiday put collections behind.
Another issue is wet conditions slows turnaround time for trash trucks.
Waste Management brought in more workers to help in that catch-up process.
