CHICAGO — Earlier this week, we talked about dog poop and other weird stuff that surfaced in Chicago after the citywide snowmelt.
Now we know how the city cleans it all up.
First, about the dog poop.

As of Thursday, the city had handled 75 complaints about dog feces found in backyards, front lawns and parkways, said Molly Poppe, spokeswoman for the Department of Streets and Sanitation.
The city "does take action quickly against these issues as they can attract rodents and cause a public nuisance in neighborhoods," she said.
Whenever the city receives a dog feces complaint, it sends the ward superintendent to the home to tell the residents to clean it up, Poppe said.
As far as clearing the streets of everything else once buried under snow, the city has already begun sweeping main roads across the city.
Street sweeping begins on side streets beginning April 1.
