Called and am getting "senior discount" on
2023 trash pickup. 20% off services, but
does not include fuel surcharge and some
other fee. Ended up being 16% off total.

I wonder what some of you pay for trash
pickup in other parts of the country.

Mine was going to be $650, but down to
$545 after calling.

I will have to call EVERY YEAR. It does
not carry over. Maybe they hope I will
forget NEXT year due to my aging memory.
Cannot do it online, oh no, would be too
easy.

If I am a senior THIS YEAR, I am only guessing
I'd be a senior NEXT YEAR as well. But I gotta
let them know / remind them. :rolleyes:

Yes, there are two (2) lower-cost alternatives
but they both include limits on what they will
pick up and/or how much per week. Pay extra
for "extra" stuff.

I'm thinking a lot of people have their trash
bill buried in their property taxes. It should
be a line item.

In that case, it's non-negotiable. You pay
what they charge.

Unless you rent, then only God would know.

Still curious what the "going rate" is, above
or below the Mason-Dixon line.

2023 = $545 here, or $650 if Spring Chicken.

Unsure what the other 2 companies charge,
but many many many angry people on the
neighborhood FB group. And nobody seems
to be paying the same as anybody else. So,
I don't know. Some pay by month, some pay
by quarter, some pay by 6 months, some pay
annually. What the hell??? x3 companies.

Oh and by the way: You cannot co-op here
with a neighbor (share trash). Each address
must be linked to a trash company or disposal
method. Yeah, they track that kind of stuff.
You're not going to get away with anything.

60 dollars added to property taxes yearly but that's not for actual pick-up. supposedly, it helps pay for the 'convenience centers' where you can dump your trash yourself. not sure what private haulers charge - i'm too far out of town (5 miles) to even get a quote
