>>The new law authorizes the city to either charge residents a fee for city employees to separate recyclable materials or to stop trash collection to a home altogether.<<
Excellent. You can just save it up and haul it yourself to the dump. Or the dumpster at the nearest apartment complex.
This is assuming the customer can opt to cancel trash service.
Well the article says that the city can stop trash collection, but I doubt they would allow the home owner to cancel it. Where would the city get its tax money from?
I thank the good Lord daily that I don’t live in a “neighborhood”. I save my trash for about 6 weeks and take it to the dump. Anything that will burn (paper, boxes, etc) goes in the burning barrel in the back yard. Yep, it’s legal to burn trash in a barrel here. We don’t have garbage pickup here so almost everybody takes trash to the landfill themselves. If you go on Saturday or Sunday it only costs $2 a load. Heck, we’ve only had city water for two years. We don’t have cable TV or high speed Internet. My Internet is satellite. You couldn’t pay me to live in a subdivision or other civilized neighborhood. :-)

My brother-in-law was a pill. His dumpster of choice was a grocery store’s. He used to say he was going to St. Danny’s when he had to make a run. That’s probably why they are out of business—the high cost of their trash disposal.
