In the first three months of 1975, Chicago sanitation workers picked up 200,000 fewer tons than in the first quarter of 1974. Conspicuously absent are the usual numbers of discarded major appliances such as stoves, washing machines and refrigerators. New York City's household and construction wastes dwindled by nearly 1 million tons in 1974, and continue to diminish...
