It was alleged today that Carson City's Waste Management has policies that are causing a trash build-up on Telegraph Square, but Waste Management Representative Kendra Kostelecky says that simply is not the case.

"For commercial businesses, we will come and take your trash every day of the week if that’s what you want,” said Kostelecky. “And we absolutely will provide businesses with as many bins as they want. We’re a business, we don’t have any policy that states we would only provide one bin to restaurants. In fact, we have many businesses that we do pick-ups for multiple times a week.”

Telegraph Square in downtown Carson City is growing quickly. Not only are new businesses like Gather, The Martin Hotel and Squeeze-In taking up space, but apartments are being renovated and rented out on the upper floors of the buildings.

However, with the area gaining more traffic and business, it also means there is an increase in waste, which has been piling up in the district for nearly half a year.
