Bulk pickup frequency and Cameo center closure

Summary

A resident warned that monthly-only bulk pickup since the Cameo bulk center closed is filling garages, attics and empty lots — a fire and blight risk. Vice Mayor Caraballo noted the limit traces to the Waste Pro failure transition contract (~$3 million/year for Cameo) and said the city will push to expand service when the contract comes up.
