What sends me is that he's still paying an extra $75, which means it's not about the garbage.

"It's about sending a message"
What a garbage message.
I guess it's about the convenience? Trash day only once a month does sound pretty tempting...
Except for the piles of fucking trash
Oh yeah, lol

Once more people get onboard, the price is sure to fall.
Yes, because everyone knows how the more popular things get, the cheaper they become.
I wish my mom actually followed though on sending my brussels sprouts to the starving kids via mail when I was a kid because it would have been hilarious.
Fake and ......
Come on, don't leave us hanging
Everyone is like " garbage collection is free here" no it's not, what do you think taxes are for
Thats like saying "free refills dont exist, you pay for them beforehand".
Well if you pay taxes all the time and are used to gaining nothing for it, it feels like the bonuses are free.
Isnt throwing garbage free?
(At least here in Greece it is.)
In the USA, you usually pay for garbage collection services which are private companies that provide you trash and recycling bins and they pick them up from your house on a regular schedule, usually once or twice a week. If you live in a rural area, really rural, you might need to handle your own garbage. In these cases you either haul it in your truck to a dump where you either pay a flat rate to dump, or pay by the pound (they weigh your car before and after), or some places allow you burn trash if you’re really in the middle of nowhere.
Sometimes payment for these services is included in rent, HOA fees, or sometimes you hire/pay seperately.

what the hell

Or included in property tax, because (as a matter of public health) they really don't want anybody to be able to avoid paying it.
In my city, it's a flat fee per residence (as opposed to scaling with the millage rate), so it's broken out on a separate line-item. It's a little over $500/year.
That's weird. Not sure where you are. Where I live the city just adds it to the utility bill (trash, sewer, and water). That sounds like it's probably expensive. Fuck that.
U.S. truly is a hypercapitalist hellhole. I'm so glad I don't live there.
So that's where all trash on the roads of India come from
I knew a billion people couldn’t do that, there had to be someone else
