The County landfill is open all year with the exception of a few holidays (Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc.)
Our recycling is picked up once every two weeks. We just have to haul it to the curb.
We must be more progressive-er than you...so to speak...
Okay, I’ve put this off for far too long...
I’m not even sure our county has a landfill. Christmas trees go to area lakes for nesting sites, and dang, there are a lot of gullies to fill up :-)
Our city has had discussions for years about whether to limit the number of trash haulers or not. So far, they have not. The trash haulers offer recycling, but with just the two of us, and, with me not having employment outside the home, it’s just as easy, and cheaper, for me to take the recylcables every month or so.
