As garbage rates surge, Latrobe looks to join municipalities that collect their own trash

City of Jeannette workers Anthony Salvatore (left) and Angelo Machado pick up trash along their route Thursday. Latrobe may join Jeannette and a scattering of other area municipalities — including Arnold, Swissvale, Southwest Greensburg and Pittsburgh — that prefer to take out their own trash.

Latrobe residents were facing a quarterly rate hike of up to 40% if the city approved a new contract with a garbage hauler.
