City Trash Charges: Reduce Fees - Reduce Trash!

Good use of a lunch break! I looked up the city fees for our trash/recycle carts. The city automatically provides residents with a 95 gallon container at a current fee of $15.10/month. If a resident wishes to down scale to a 68 gallon container, the fee drops to $11.25/month. While that may only be a difference of $3.85/month, it adds up to $46.20/year. That savings would cover Zack’s cell phone bill for a month! It will also encourage us to throw away less (though I can’t remember the last time I filled the larger container in a week’s time anyway).

I really don’t like having to seal the trash in a tied plastic bag, though. Wonder if there is any way around that one?!
