Country folks-What do you pay for trash service?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Country folks-What do you pay for trash service? (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 4/20/2016 11:41:41 AM EDT

Havent had a trash service at our place, we burn most papers, recycle some when the recycle truck comes to our township hall once a month, and the rest I usually toss in a dumpster at a family members business in town. Kinda a pain in the ass but it woks. I called a trash service that operates in our area and they charge $120 every three months for pick up. The old service we had charged like $95 every three months. Seems high to me. Am I just being a cheap ass? What do you all pay?

Lol basically for shit that won't burn or recycle. Which isn't very much for us so I haven't been paying for one. I suppose I could burn everything if I wanted though

Up to 5 contractor size bags every Wednesday $25 a month.

$23/month for weekly pickup. They used to be really picky about what they'd take and then upgraded to actual "garbage trucks" from 1 tons. Now I can put about anything out there.

Nothing, but no service either. The cost of using the landfill/transfer station is part of the property taxes you pay.

$2 a hundred 3 miles down the road

Woo Hoo. 10 bucks a month and the county brought me a Herby Curby!

The service is like $38 a month, but I just pile bags up in one of our garages, and then when I have a truck load, I take it to the dump 10 min away for $6

15/month. I put out three 33 gallon cans each week and one Rubbermaid Brute recycling container every other week. They Bill be quarterly at $45.00

Haul it off ourselves to the county convenience center.

Whatever I want to throw to the curb, fridges, trash, tree limbs, $22.18/mo. At the cabin it's about $108/year (mandatory) but you have to haul it.

$80 a quarter, 10 bag limit a week

No trash service here; I have a skip that I use as a dumpster and burn barrels. I haul the skip to the dump on a bobtail when it gets full which is about 2x a year.

Posted: 4/20/2016 12:21:46 PM EDT

$18 month.

Posted: 4/20/2016 12:22:54 PM EDT

$70 a month I think. For one of those big bins.

$80 per quarter, two 96 gallon cans for recycling and garbage. Garbage weekly, recycling bi-weekly.

Trash service is a scam. I can't wait for the day I don't have to pay for that crap. Been paying for 10 years

Posted: 4/20/2016 12:23:49 PM EDT

$280 a year. Herby curby once a week.

we get free dumping at the dump on Wednesdays.. I drive to the dump and dump my garbage. its only about 3 miles from town, so its not far out of the way for me, takes about 15 minutes round trip. I also do my shopping during the same trip, so its not a extra trip. I USED to pay around $30.00 a month IIRC to have it picked up.

2 30gal cans a week $0. Landfill in the township, part of the deal is free trash pickup for residents.
We have to pay for recycling though.

$0.00.

Town comes to get it. It's actually paid out via property taxes but since we rent the homeowner is paying it so we don't know how much it actually costs.

I work near the landfill but I don't drive a truck

$50 / 3 months for pickup

Posted: 4/20/2016 1:46:40 PM EDT

Doesn't cost anything. 4 trashcans in the back of a truck and take them to the dump

Posted: 4/20/2016 1:52:34 PM EDT

[#30]

$120 per year plus $1.25 each trash bag picked up.

No kidding.

I have to haul it down to the convenience center. It used to be 50 cents a bag. When you turn 60, they let you dump 6 bags a week for free. Occasionally I take the old guy who runs the place some vegetables out of the garden or some honey. I usually get to drop my stuff off that day for free.

We pay $65 every 3 months. There are cheaper companies but I'm lazy

Posted: 4/20/2016 2:18:23 PM EDT

[#37]

I agree. Why?

Because she wills it.

I get my way most of the time though.

Posted: 4/20/2016 2:18:56 PM EDT

We just take it and throw it over the fence into the neighbors yard. They are so nasty they don't notice it.

Posted: 4/20/2016 2:19:28 PM EDT

96 gal toter per week, $48 every 3 months.

Posted: 4/20/2016 2:20:57 PM EDT

$80 bucks a quarter, herby curby once a week

Posted: 4/20/2016 2:21:56 PM EDT

59/3mo with the fuel sur-charge that hasn't been removed.

Posted: 4/20/2016 2:22:20 PM EDT

We pay $60 every three months for one trash can and one recycle can to be picked up once each per week.

Posted: 4/20/2016 2:34:06 PM EDT

[#43]

I just pay the property taxes and take our trash to one of the various collection sites depending which direction I am heading.

When I lived out in the sticks, it was ~$80 every three months to have a private company come out and handle it. One big-ass can, once a week.

So...$27/mo? Somewhere around there.
