What sends me is that he’s still paying an extra $75, which means it’s not about the garbage.
“It’s about sending a message”
What a garbage message.
I’m sorry, but that message is just trash
Once more people get onboard, the price is sure to fall.
Yes, because everyone knows how the more popular things get, the cheaper they become.
I guess it’s about the convenience? Trash day only once a month does sound pretty tempting…
Except for the piles of fucking trash
Oh yeah, lol
(งツ)ว
Yea, how the fuck is squishing a bunch 3 week old trash at all appealing? Having it sit in a big pile outside attracting animals?
Oh, it’s fake
But it sounds way more involved than putting a bin to the curb. Also, if you’re compressing it anyways you can probably fit a months worth of garbage into one bin.
He also has to pay someway for a personal trash compactor to squish his trash into cubes.
I’m pretty sure the trash fee is $25 a month but trash service comes around once or twice a week.
What an asshole
Is $125 a month “normal” for houses? I pay $8 but I live in an apartment
Ours is paid for by taxes and council fees
In IB, California, I’m paying $105 every three months for 1 trash and 1 recycling bin. With weekly pickup.
A quick Google tells me that in NYC trash companies are limited to $15.89 per hundred pounds.
Either OP has Oscar the Grouch levels of trash to dispose of, or the whole thing is made up.
My guess is that they’re rural. Lots of rural communities have such high trash fees that they’ll opt to just burn it instead. Because no trash company wants to drive 45 minutes outside of town just for one pickup, and the local municipality doesn’t cover them because they’re outside of the city limits.
Mine ìs $20.85/mo for the same service in Orlando
We pay zero, but what can I say, I’m living in a third world country. Trash is everywhere.
I pay $85 a quarter for a huge trash can and a huge recycling can (the kinds with wheels that’d hold at least a couple bodies). They pickup once a week.
Where we live is between $40-$50 every two months for trash and recycling for most services.
My trash, recycling, and water are all bundled and the trash/recycling part is like $25ish, so about the same as yours.
I live in a major city and pay $75 quarterly for trash and recycling bins that are picked up weekly semi-reliably. They get a lot of holidays for being an American company and anytime there’s even the hint of inclement weather they cancel pickup and I have a full bin of trash for another week lol and of course I can’t leave the bin out where it don’t smell up my garage because the HOA doesn’t allow the bins to be outside during daytime except pickup day and it must be placed back inside by the day after pickup because these people have nothing going on with their lives
We get billed about $275 for 2 months. Did a couple months of that when we first moved in and things were crazy, but now that we settled, I just take it to the disposal myself and spend about $100 for 2 months. Quite the savings.
I wish my mom actually followed though on sending my brussels sprouts to the starving kids via mail when I was a kid because it would have been hilarious.
Fake and …
Come on, don’t leave us hanging

This is basically how recycling works, except it goes to Indonesia and is put into massive piles that occasionally set on fire.
So that’s where all trash on the roads of India come from
I knew a billion people couldn’t do that, there had to be someone else
Why don’t the receivers return to sender with compliments (of shit)?
Everyone is like " garbage collection is free here" no it’s not, what do you think taxes are for
Thats like saying “free refills dont exist, you pay for them beforehand”.
Well if you pay taxes all the time and are used to gaining nothing for it, it feels like the bonuses are free.
Isnt throwing garbage free?
(At least here in Greece it is.)
In the USA, you usually pay for garbage collection services which are private companies that provide you trash and recycling bins and they pick them up from your house on a regular schedule, usually once or twice a week. If you live in a rural area, really rural, you might need to handle your own garbage. In these cases you either haul it in your truck to a dump where you either pay a flat rate to dump, or pay by the pound (they weigh your car before and after), or some places allow you burn trash if you’re really in the middle of nowhere.
Sometimes payment for these services is included in rent, HOA fees, or sometimes you hire/pay seperately.

what the hell
What, too much freedom for you to handle?
You’re still paying for it, just with taxes.
