Yep, that’s why our recycle bill has risen from $90 every 2 months to $115.
My driveway is 1/4 mile long. It’s literally easier for me to take my garbage to work with me and throw it in a sidewalk public trash receptacle, which is exactly what I do.
We throw all Keurig cups, metal and glass into a wal-mart plastic bag hanging in the pantry and every few days there will be a full bag to take to work with me. The rest goes into the trash cans out back. Every few weeks their content gets burned.
We have no garbage bill. However, it’s not about the money (~$25 a month) It’s about the convenience. It’s EASIER to take a small bag with me to work every day than to haul the garbage cans 1/4 mile to the street.
And I work in a different county where I pay a county income tax. This “garbage service” is the one thing I get out of it. :)
