Just saw my Western Disposal bill for the last 3 months (or the upcoming 3 months) while logged onto my checking account. $63 of which $33 is for trash service and $30 is for recycling that I don’t use. I have about the cheapest service one can get in the County with the smallest cart (32 gal?).
And one wonders why it didn’t bother me in the least that my broken computer power supply and old speakers were in the outgoing trash this morning.
I think it’s about time to start taking my trash into Western once a week on my own. It probably costs me more money at 50 cents/mile but it robs the county of the $30 tax (err fee) that they charge me for a service I don’t use.
Chris,
I'm to the point now where — so long as it's legal — I will go to any lengths I have to in order to keep money out of the hands of government at every level.
