In Plain English
The city wants to charge businesses for litter cleanup based on what products they sell. R3 Consulting will study whether stores selling items like fast food containers and cigarettes should pay fees to cover street sweeping and trash collection. If approved, the $47,500 study could lead to new business fees to fund citywide litter removal.
