Is $125 a month "normal" for houses? I pay $8 but I live in an apartment
Ours is paid for by taxes and council fees
In IB, California, I'm paying $105 every three months for 1 trash and 1 recycling bin. With weekly pickup.
A quick Google tells me that in NYC trash companies are limited to $15.89 per hundred pounds.
Either OP has Oscar the Grouch levels of trash to dispose of, or the whole thing is made up.
My guess is that they’re rural. Lots of rural communities have such high trash fees that they’ll opt to just burn it instead. Because no trash company wants to drive 45 minutes outside of town just for one pickup, and the local municipality doesn’t cover them because they’re outside of the city limits.
Mine ìs $20.85/mo for the same service in Orlando
Where we live is between $40-$50 every two months for trash and recycling for most services.
My trash, recycling, and water are all bundled and the trash/recycling part is like $25ish, so about the same as yours.
We pay zero, but what can I say, I'm living in a third world country. Trash is everywhere.
I pay $85 a quarter for a huge trash can and a huge recycling can (the kinds with wheels that’d hold at least a couple bodies). They pickup once a week.
I live in a major city and pay $75 quarterly for trash and recycling bins that are picked up weekly semi-reliably. They get a lot of holidays for being an American company and anytime there’s even the hint of inclement weather they cancel pickup and I have a full bin of trash for another week lol and of course I can’t leave the bin out where it don’t smell up my garage because the HOA doesn’t allow the bins to be outside during daytime except pickup day and it must be placed back inside by the day after pickup because these people have nothing going on with their lives
We get billed about $275 for 2 months. Did a couple months of that when we first moved in and things were crazy, but now that we settled, I just take it to the disposal myself and spend about $100 for 2 months. Quite the savings.
