<body><div><p>Port Huron residents are raising concerns about this year’s leaf pickup service, citing late collections as an issue. City Manager James Freed spoke about the situation at this week’s City Council Meeting.</p><p>“I called around to several companies who normally bid on our contract, and they said, ‘We got out of the bulk leaf pickup. We don’t do bulk leaf pickup anymore.’”, Freed said, “One contractor told me, it was actually Waste Management, told me, ‘We didn’t bid on your contract because we can hardly keep the labor to manage the contracts we have. We’re focused on retention, not expansion.’ And so, if I fired Emterra tomorrow, there’s no one who would come and take that contract.”</p><p>Freed said that a shortage of workers and vehicles has slowed collection, but says that the contractor will be bringing in new trucks to help play catch up.</p></div></body>
