cuts down the turning radius of the long trucks marshall said i have asked the com pany to make special arrangements by using smaller trucks but we have taken care of most areas m the city montclair birkel and south side are difficult areas to pick up trash and recycleables birkel is a problem getting to because it is a very narrow street marshall said for off-campus hous ing students park closer
