My city council just passed an ordinace where we have to pay $2 per bag to buy trash bags from the city. They did it to raise money so they don’t have to lay off the part-timers. So, they hired two Trash Inspectors to go along with it. They are former city councilors.

Sounds like the scheme with those brown paper “recycling” bags that people are supposed to use for grass clippings and other yard waste.

Has there been a spike in the market for home trash compactors?
