I've known of towns that had that. You sure didn't see garbage
cans on their street.

I pay a little over $200 a year for twice weekly pickup, plus once a
month newspaper and cans & bottle recycling. Luckily, at least in my

arranging with different trash companies and the schedule is the same
for everyone.
