Every day, the department says, 10,000 tons of residential garbage is put out for collection.

But he added that it was important to quickly end the carting of residential garbage by truck.

Almost all of the city's residential garbage is currently processed at private transfer stations.

Now the city wants to add residential garbage to the heap.

In the meantime, the city will have to truck its residential garbage: the same system used for commercial refuse.

But what to do with the city's 13,000 tons of residential garbage a day?

Anyone caught illegally dumping residential garbage will get a serious summons, one with a $100 fine.

The city now recycles about 14 percent of its residential garbage.
