NEW YORK (AP) -- New York City is picking up garbage for the first time since the blizzard a week ago.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg says the next step will be figuring out what went wrong with the storm cleanup. Bloomberg was asked at a schools event Monday whether budget cuts had an impact on snow removal. The mayor says the city used the same number of workers as in previous storms. The Christmas weekend blizzard dumped 20 inches of snow on New York City. Sanitation officials say garbage normally collected on Mondays is now being picked up. Recycled trash won't be collected until further notice, but Christmas trees will be picked up. © 2011 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
