But then you would have a taxable transaction. Lol

Hmmm considering the small sales price do not think they would come after the buyer for paying cash.

The real issue is the church pays no taxes. A church member is colluding with the church to move the burden from the church to non church members, e.g. tax payers.

But you can mumble a few meaningless words and be absolved. The IRS gives them a free pass. They answer to no one but the guy with the big hat

Once your “saved” you can do anything you want with no repercussions. It is the ultimate get out of jail free card.

Ah, Garbage in Florida! It has become an issue in our lives since we are retired and not running around like a Chicken with our Heads Cut Off. It's something once you have free time what becomes important to people. If the same neighbor asked you to take several bags of garbage for them if there was a limit would you help them out?

We have the same crew from Waste Management and we've had them for over 4 years. Those Christmas Gratutities really work. They even changed their route so the brakes on the truck don't wake us up to early. All I did was Splain dat I was around trucks my entire life and that the noise was hellacious for me and the wife. I asked them what the limitations were for the construction debris that I was bringing to the curb and the boss of the crew said mister, with a tip like that you could put the house out to the curb and we'll take it.

Get a hobby. Join the offending church. Help someone in need. Your concern over the garbage is wonderful but your effort could be of better use somewhere else.

I haven't heard any stories about fingers and toes wiggling out of the garbage like in N.J. NOT YET ANYWAY!

I had six bags of refuse out this morning for pickup. Three bags (one paper and two plastic) had yard /shrub clipping waste in them. Any of you busybodies want to complain about that then by all means bring it on. My wife was a property manager in TV and when a rental vacated with trash left over instead of putting it on the curb when it wasn’t trash day she would put it out at my house. Sometimes we had ten or twelve bags out. What is the difference? I treat our trash pickup guys really well at Christmas and other times when I feel guilty about how heavy some of the crap is that I put out there.

One is trash generated outside of TV the other is generated inside TV.

Nothing good has ever come from religion. Note how these people are hypocrites that are stealing services while still thinking that they are holier than you

That is true but you only know that because I stated it. If someone saw ten bags of trash in a driveway they don’t know where they came from

I keep hearing Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's restaurant " playing over and over in my head.
