Garbage pick up costs?

[chocolatepuppy]

we pay by the bag....$3 for a small bag and $4 for a large.

I wish they'd go by the bag/can here. As it is, I'd be paying $7.12 per can! And my can would only be 1/2 full most of the time! I also think 'pay by what you put out' would help encourge recycling.

mine is included in my monthly water bill - I believe that it is about $18 a month. Recycling is a one time price of about $6 for the huge bin that you throw everything in. Except cardboard. They won't pick up cardboard.
