OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The city of Omaha has fined a Kansas-based company $100,000 after complaints about delayed yard waste pickup.

City officials met with representatives from Deffenbaugh Industries Wednesday to address the complaints filed in May and June. The company and the city say the pickup problems stem from a shortage of workers with commercial driver’s licenses.

The waste and recycling firm has brought in 10 drivers from other cities, and plans to hire an additional 23 drivers.

Mayor Jean Stothert’s office says Deffenbaugh also has agreed to work with schools and job training programs to recruit new workers.

Deffenbaugh began picking up yard waste along with trash this week. It plans to keep taking yard waste to the county landfill through October.
