What sends me is that he’s still paying an extra $75, which means it’s not about the garbage.
“It’s about sending a message”
What a garbage message.
I guess it’s about the convenience? Trash day only once a month does sound pretty tempting…
Except for the piles of fucking trash
Oh yeah, lol

Isnt throwing garbage free?
(At least here in Greece it is.)
In the USA, you usually pay for garbage collection services which are private companies that provide you trash and recycling bins and they pick them up from your house on a regular schedule, usually once or twice a week. If you live in a rural area, really rural, you might need to handle your own garbage. In these cases you either haul it in your truck to a dump where you either pay a flat rate to dump, or pay by the pound (they weigh your car before and after), or some places allow you burn trash if you’re really in the middle of nowhere.
Sometimes payment for these services is included in rent, HOA fees, or sometimes you hire/pay seperately.

Or included in property tax, because (as a matter of public health) they really don’t want anybody to be able to avoid paying it.
In my city, it’s a flat fee per residence (as opposed to scaling with the millage rate), so it’s broken out on a separate line-item. It’s a little over $500/year.
That’s weird. Not sure where you are. Where I live the city just adds it to the utility bill (trash, sewer, and water). That sounds like it’s probably expensive. Fuck that.
