Did you ever notice that where you see dumpsters for trash (Garbage), you also notice odors and see the little gray rodent traps? Would make your trip to the mail center, pool and shuffleboard courts a new experience. Not to mention the joy from adjacent home owners.

By doing so, all of the information pertaining to your monthly bill will be emailed to the email you provide. You always have access to these records by returning to the districtgov.org to see the details and a complete history of your bills.

Village Community Development Districts

I am told by district staff that only about 15% of Villagers use E-Billing and that it costs around $9,000 per month to send out paper statements. So, save paper and help your Village District government save money by signing up for E-Billing. It's so easy to do!

I use E-billing for everything. But, I find it strange that, even after I pay my E-bill to the Leesburg Electric Co, they still send me a paper bill every month.

No Way! I do not want a dumpster at the mail stations. This will also lead to outsiders hauling their trash and dumping it.

I have a shredder and anything that fits in it is shredded. Can usually go 2 weeks before the reash bag is full then it goes out.

I would like to have a "pay for the trash you generate" option rather than a fixed monthly cost. It's not really fair to part time residents to pay for trash removal for long periods of time when you are not there!

I’m sure this would reduce our trash bill.
What say you?

Nope!

and SECO, bank statements, cable


Is it possible to request that advertising mail is not put in your mailbox, or does USPS have to "deliver" it as it has been paid for?

OP, it appears that your answer is overwhelmingly no on a dumpster for trash at the mail boxes or any other place in The Villages. In a small condo community that could work but that does not describe The Villages.

I guess you can request anythIng you want, but they will not stop putting junk mail in your mailbox. Actually, the mailbox doesn't belong to you. It is the property of the U.S. Government.

and, like the advertising in newspapers, junk mail subsidizes the cost of regular mail, so I guess I shouldn't complain about it

When a customer of any company agrees to go on E-billing, the company should be giving their customers a credit of some sort because they are saving the company some money in terms of paper, postage, manpower and a few other related things.

Yes, USPS MUST deliver any and all mail when a sender has paid for delivery.

One thing that would definitely cut the cost of our trash bill would be to have once a week pickup.

Homeowners would probably save about 1/3 of the current cost if that was instituted.

Could you imagine a 95 degree day sitting by the pool with a dumpster sitting 50 feet on the other side of the fence?
