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?

How much money will this insane idea save the average resident? Is it worth it to haul trash to the local dump/mailbox then have a dip in the pool next to the overwhelming stench of a dumpster? Are there that many people who can't afford a few dollars a month to live under sanitary conditions? Eating at home once a month will more than make up the cost.

Dumpsters

Maybe education on reducing waste and recycling would help. |

Not in favor of community dumpsters for many of the reasons already stated. Also, there are those who are not physically able to open dumpsters and lift trash in.
My suggestion is to take a look at going to once a week collection. Trash receptacles would have to be kept in garages of course. |

I assume the answer is no because the amount of saving would be insignificant to the homeowner unless they would suggest firing half the work force. In my instance, if they cut my cost by 50% that would save $8.75 per month.....and create a decision, what to do with that windfall? My cost here is significantly less then I paid for private haulers in PA. Still can't understand why we have these discussions over pocket change when there are bigger issues that need some intelligent discussions.
