Port St. Lucie is switching its solid waste management companies from Waste Pro to FCC Environmental Services.

The process has been a long one, with residents of the area not seeing a single garbage truck for several weeks now.

Along with the gap in trash pick up, there will also be a rate increase and trash collection will be reduced to once a week.

In dissatisfaction over what residents are calling a trash crisis, city leaders are holding a virtual town hall meeting to address concerns.
