Trash pickup?
I agree with the two prior comments since we live outside the city limits and recycle everything and produce very little trash. The $2 per bag at the collection center is great compared to a
commercial service fee. We have never believed in burning it.
We need to be able to come to the dump
How am I supposed to dispose of trash now?
Time to start burning it
