If my old faulty memory is working, I believe on my last utility bill the charge for garbage service was $19 and some change. Where we lived prior to TV, garbage service was once a week and cost $25 - $25 a month depending on the contractor. There were also county operated "dump stations" where you could take garbage for free but in summer months the odor and flies were unbelievable. Can you imagine the odor and pests that would be generated by a dumpster at the mail stations? If $20 is causing a personal financial crisis, maybe TV isn't the place to live. If TV did something like suggested you wouldn't be able to give a home away here. Was this serious suggestion or a late April Fool's day joke?
