Showerthought: My town spends $12k a month on leaf pickup in October alone
I was looking over my city's budget report online last week, just out of curiosity, and I found this crazy stat. Our public works department budgets around $12,000 every October just for leaf collection trucks and overtime for the crew. That blew my mind because I always figured leaves just got mulched into the street or something. Does anyone else's town spend that much on seasonal yard waste, or is mine just inefficient about it?

$12k a month on leaf pickup" is insane, is that just overtime for the guys running the truck or does that include the truck itself breaking down all the time?
