'100 tons:' Fort Wayne bulk garbage program grows, still needs education

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) — When Fort Wayne switched garbage providers in May, they decided to take on the task of bulk garbage pickup on their own.
The switch meant a whole new system where residents have to contact the city in order to get a sofa or mattress picked up.
"We get about 100 orders a day where we go and collect bulk. We pick up three items from you per week, but you do have to schedule ahead of your collection day," said Matt Gratz, Fort Wayne's Solid Waste Manager.
