The major cost of trash service is for the TRASH not the service. There is a fee per ton to dispose of it. Your service was cut in half, but I am very certain the amount of trash has not been.   more ›

Well here it is Saturday June 2nd and our trash has still not been picked up. So much for saving $15 a year by going to once a week trash/recycling. At 5:30AM our recycling was finally picked up and I thought they could not start before 6:00AM. Great job saving us $15. Wonder how long the trash will sit there today.   more ›
