I pay $9.50 a month on my Water bill for SANITATION, which is garbage pick up. We have a BIG can with wheels that we put out front every Wed. It holds about 4 39 gallon trash bags full. IF we have extra, we put it out beside the can in a trash bag and they always pick it up. But we dont do that very often, maybe 3-4 times a year. The neighbors on either side of me both have an extra can, I guess they pay an extra $9.50 a month for pickup.

We dont have the option of NOT paying for garbage pick up because we are on city water. HOWEVER, my MIL lived right onthe outskirts of town and her water came from antoher water department. Instead of city water, it was county water. She paid her garbage pick up every 3 months. When my FIL was heading downhill with Alzheimers, I cant tell you how often they picked up her garbage can because he wouldnt pay, or he wouldnt pay enough because he thought the bill was too high.

I hope they bring your garbage can back this morning, Its rough living without one.
