A person must pay a yearly fee for service, then a fee for each pick-up, then a fee according to the weight of the garbage. Whoa! Do they really take the time to weigh each bin at each driveway, and then keep a running tab to bill each person? This seems like a lot of book-keeping to me, just for some good'ole refuse collection. Well, perhaps that's why the unemployment rate is so low here? (approx 3.5%)
Anyhow, our pick-up is once a fortnight and we’re paying for the weight...my landlady confessed that when she cooks with a lot of vegetables, which have stems/cores/rinds that are heavy, then she’ll carry the waste to the "tip" (dump) to avoid paying the cost. Briliant. Meanwhile, there is a black bin for general waste and a green bin for recyclables such as paper/plastics/cans, and a bag for glass. I like that.
