Well, at least you have someone to pick up your trash for you. I've opted to load it into the van once a week (or so in the winter) and drive 17 miles to the transfer station. Since I just left the city where it's around $2 per 30 gallon bag, I'm much happier paying $60 for a year, unlimited, even if I have to do a bit of driving.

not exactly $60/year.

17 miles to transfer station in a van.
so 34 miles round trip.
assume 17mpg for laziness
one trip per week.

34miles * 52 trips a year = 1768 miles/year.

(1768 miles per year / 17 mpg) * $3 gallon = $312 in gas per year

Your time is worth ZERO $ and not to mention miles on your vehicle? No thanks.

it definitely is, but i was going with the tangibles

I'll let you slide just this once.
