“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
Teamsters Joint Council 16 President George Miranda said in a statement. He also said it “sets the stage for broader reforms later this summer to protect workers, increase recycling, and cut truck traffic through zoned-collection of commercial waste.” Competitive bidding for the zone collection will include a review of a carter’s environmental and labor policies, as well as the rates they charge, Moore said. The zone system, first proposed by the city in 2016, would mean that, “instead of up to 50 haulers operating in a single neighborhood on a nightly basis, there will be just a handful,” city Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia said in testimony on the bill. The new approach would cut commercial carting truck traffic by 60 percent or more, she said. (ash Depots in Low-Income Sections Capped In New York City Bill)
Rome under Emperor Trajan because of his Christianity. Exiled to Greek colony of Chersonesus in the Crimea, Clement reportedly performed his first miracle. While his fellow prisoners were suffering from dehydration, the Pope looked up and saw a lamb on a hill. He struck where the lamb was standing with a pickaxe, which released a stream of clean water. His act resulted in the conversion of a large number of local pagans to Christianity, which then resulted in his gruesome martyrdom by the Roman authorities. Saint Clement was tied to an anchor and thrown from a boat into the Black Sea. Legend recounts that every year, the waters part to reveal a divinely built shrine housing the saint’s bones.A relic of Pope Clement I is restored to the Westminster Cathedral (Mazur/www.catholicnews.org.uk)Apparently one bone got away. Housed in what appears to be a Victorian-era wax-sealed reliquary, the bone fragment of Pope Clement I was likely a family heirloom. The collection of such relics was an extremely popular practice in medieval Europe. Seeking miraculous healing or a conduit to Christ, pilgrims would travel across the continent for primary relics (i.e. the remains of saints) or secondary relics (i.e. things touched by saints). Through the centuries, such relics have been chipped away and disseminated across the globe, leading to a secondary market of fake relics which some say spurred the Reformation.“It could have been stolen, it could belong to someone and been accidentally thrown out,” University of Turku researcher Georges Kazan also told reporters. “If it’s authentic, it’s not the kind of thing you throw away.”...

A hazmat suit and respirator is what Jared Herbert typically wears to work. If passersby ask what he is working on, he tells them he's just cleaning a house. Or taking care of a residential chemical contamination. He never gives the real reason why his cleaning crew travels in unmarked vans to rip out carpet, scrub air ducts or load furniture into a dumpster. "We keep it as discreet as we can," he explained. "You want to know that someone has meth in your neighborhood, but you also don't want to know, you know?" ... (eaning up contamination: What happens to meth houses)
To them, everything is good and shouldn't be tossed," says Dow, whose crews don full-body protective suits and respirators when called to a suspected hoarding situation because "as soon as you start digging, everything becomes airborne."Once, when hired by an insurance company to clean up a water-damaged basement in Bedford, Dow erected a wedding tent in the front yard to shelter water-logged odds and ends while the team hurried to disinfect walls and floors. The owner, a woman living alone, refused to allow the moldering objects, seen by her as treasured and essential, to be carted away - losing a $30,000 insurance claim. "She made us bring everything back down to the basement," Dow recalls. "She almost threw us off the property when we tried to remove a bag of used baby diapers." People grieve when their possessions, however useless or unhealthy, are removed, he says. Hoarding - the out-of-control accumulation of objects and an inability to discard them, including things others deem worthless - is a mental illness affecting at least 2 to 6 percent of the world's population, roughly 15 million people in the U.S., many of whom are 50 or older. "It's really paralyzing. They just can't get rid of things," says Rachel Lakin, administrator of New Hampshire's Bureau of Elderly and Adult Services. Hoarders "don't know how to assign value to something. Therefore, anything becomes valuable."At the other end of the spectrum are seniors who amass possessions over a lifetime and don't discard much, whether from sentimental attachment or a lack of strength, energy and organizational skills needed to divest and keep house. Whatever the cause, crisis levels of clutter produce unhealthy environments that are difficult to navigate, and downright dangerous for seniors with medical and mobility issues, as well as for emergency responders trying to rescue them from overstuffed homes. The clutter encountered by Scene Care, a company whose services include cleaning up hoarding situations, made this kitchen dangerous to navigate. (Courtesy) Dangerous pilesAs New Hampshire's baby-boom population ages, incidents of hoarding and perilous levels of clutter are rising, drawing the attention of public safety and health officials and people who work with ...
