Wanna hear something gross?
I just took my trash to the dump today…
for the first time all year.
Disgusting, isn’t it?
But here’s the thing.
Even though we’d been collecting trash for three months, we only had three trash cans not quite full. (I probably coulda gotten it into two if I’d tried.)
So the ten dollar minimum fee at the dump comes out to about $3.33 per trash can.
Still a little steep.
Problem is, now that it’s no longer freezing outside, I really can’t wait that long to take trash to the dump. It’ll start to smell long before then.
But ten dollars for the measly bag of trash we collect in a week?
I haven’t priced the trash services around town, but I sorta feel like almost anything would feel like overkill for the wee bit of trash we collect.
So what do you think? How would you deal if you had too little trash to make taking-it-to-the-dump/hiring-a-service-to-take-it-to-the-dump-for-you worthwhile?
