The g'ment says we are need this product and to spread out the cost we all must have it whether we are low cost producers or high. See??
No political point. I think the OP is just POed that he has to pay for 12 months of garbage pickup when he only lives here for 3 months a year. Hey - it is part of the fees. When he signed the contract it was explained to him. These are the fees - garbage, amenities, etc. Apparently he was not listening or did not read before he signed. Or he did not ask the right questions.

As for your response, I think YOU are trying to make a political point. I cannot think of any municipality I ever live in where I had a choice of utility services. There are only certain suppliers in any area for utilities.
