same sort of thing here, you pay per bag of trash, by buying special trash bags. but this is a 'fee' not a 'tax'
Plus there is NO trash pick up I have to drive it to the transfer station on the other end of town
Bags are done to 'encourage more recycling'
So instead I've hired a private trash company to pick up my garbage weekly. so I have trash pick up and no more stupid pay bags. This trash service costs me about 1/2 what I was spending on those bags every month. Still have to drag my recycling to the transfer station, so in reality those bags discourage recycling!
Also in the last few months they've added more fees used to be I could drop off brush, lawn clippings, fall leaves etc for free which was than composted and the mulch was given away free to residents. Now I have to pay a fee to dump my brush AND pay a fee for that mulch... On top of that you have to pay with special coupons, you can only get at town hall which is opened week days 8:30-4PM. With my commute I leave the house at 7 and get home at 6...
oh that pile of lawn clippings in the street, nooo I have no idea where that came from...
