I was well aware of the trash policy when we bought, and gladly bought anyways. I was not aware that I was not supposed to voice my opinion about it on a thread titled "Trash Option" which was discussing other possible ways to deal with trash removal options??? If I can't do that without getting criticism, then why bother to post on TOV???

And as an added benefit to my proposal of paying for the trash that a household generates, rather than a fixed monthly cost, is that it could yield positive environmental benefits. Think about it, what financial incentive does one have to minimize the trash they generate when they pay a fixed rate regardless of how much trash they put out twice a week. If people had to pay by the bag of trash they generate, they would have a real financial incentive to minimize the trash they produce.
