Some folks have the notion that because they are not here to leave a bag of trash on the drive way that the operating expenses for the trash removal are magically less.

Another way of charging non full time residents is to divide the annual rate over the number of months here. The result is a higher rate for "part time" usage. Hence the more you use the service the less you pay.

Then instead of subsidizing the full time residents it becomes just paying your fair share.

Just sayin'.............where is the tongue in cheek imoji when ya need it?
