Letter: Two trash pickups not cost effective

Editor: With the emphasis on "cost effectiveness,'' is it necessary to have two house trash pick-ups every week?
The city of St. Augustine spent a lot of money on "giant'' garbage cans for everyone. These certainly will accommodate a week's worth of trash.
We have trash pick-up on Monday, yard trash on Wednesday, and trash (again) along with recycling on Thursday -- two days later.
Why not better utilize our manpower, conserve fuel, and have less maintenance on vehicle usage by going to once a week?
For example:
Wednesday -- yard trash.
Thursday -- house trash and recycle.
Come on people -- make the giant cans do what they are designed to do; cost effective/environmental effort/wiser utilization of manpower.
