[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 126461, member: 47"] I guess I have nothing to complain about - 2.00 a BAG? How many bags does one go thru a month? If you have a big family, that could run into some money..jeeze We were supplied with little containers for recycling a few years ago before they changed into bins. The garbage company had a fit because they realized people were taking their neighbors cans to recycle. It was mostly elderly people taking them to supplement their income and the garbage company had a fit that they were stealing THEIR money they got from recycling. We pay a recycling fee when we buy any soft drinks in a bottle of 5 cents each bottle, and if it is a large bottle, or glass, its 10 cents. You can get all of it back if you go to a large recycling center, or half of it if you go to the recycling kiosk at the grocery store (other half goes to charity). So all that the garbage company gets from our house is paper and boxes. Am not certain if there is a fine or not for dumping my garbage into the containers at work - probably is - but then again, I do pay a portion for the garbage pickup three times a week. Better that than letting my garbage pile up in the garage trying to play catch up with the bin cause its a toss up whether the dogs will get to it or the mouse/mice. We also can call twice a year if we have any big junk, or furniture, and they will come and pick it up for free. We also have an ewaste center where they will come by, and I think once a year, we have a hazardous waste, oil, paint and the like and we just load the truck and do a drive thru whereever they decide it will be that day. Its interesting to see how garbage is handled elsewhere. We really don't have the problems with the leaves - so few trees here shed them, the the ones that do end up being taken out by the homeowners (like myself LOL) to be replaced with non leaf dropping varieties.
