The most practical approach for lowering the cost is to put the contract out to bid when it next comes up for renewal. That said, I suspect that there might not be a lot of difference between the contractors that are able to handle a client like TV. There are a number of considerations to address with this suggestion. First, there would be a additional cost for the dumpsters you are suggesting be placed near the postal stations, there would be a cost associated with preparing the site and for the routine servicing of them (so a cost analysis would need to be done and at best I suspect it would come out as breakeven). Scheduling when the trash is removed would be another logistical hurdle. It would certainly be disruptive to have a trash removal truck show up when we're all jockeying for a parking spot to pick up our mail, and surely the abutting neighbors wouldn't want to be awoken early in the morning or late in the evening by these trucks. Secondly, placing dumpsters at the postal stations/pool areas would result in an unpleasant odor in this climate and become an attraction for the critters that roam about during the day and night. Lastly I'm certain that anyone that owned a home that abutted any of the postal/pool areas would organize a protest. Let's let this one go.
