The Trash You Make

Posted on Monday, May 1st, 2023

Dave!My garbage output for the week usually consists of a shopping bag full of unrecyclables and a small bag of cat waste. It barely makes a dent in my trash can, which is the smallest one I can get.

And every two months I'm paying $80.44, which is to say I'm required to pay $40.22 every month for a trash can that I don't use very often...

I wish that we could may based on how much trash we produce instead of getting screwed over when we barely have any. I pay $482.64 a year. That's $9.28 a week. But if it takes me a month or more to fill up my trash can, shouldn't I be paying under $10 a month?

Paying by how much trash you produce would be a good incentive for people to waste less, recycle and re-use more. Or maybe it wouldn't. Maybe people like throwing money into their trash like this.

    Can you return the waste bin to the city? We don’t have one because we produce about the same amount of trash as you do and I just dispose of it in public receptacles and, when I need to, buy a garbage tag to use on a larger bag (happens once a year unless I have shop projects). Better than renting a garbage bin.

      Not an option. Everybody has to have one. You can’t even share… unless you get an entire bin for every so many people.
