So far I am NOT a fan of this. The county where our Tampa-ish property does not have county trash or recycling contracts.

"[County] does not pick up your garbage. There is a competitive, open market system for garbage collection in this county. Private haulers compete for your business. Your household garbage and recyclables are picked up by a hauler you pay directly – or in some cases, your Homeowners Association (HOA) or Community Development District (CDD) includes this service."

So we've had this property for a month now, have called and emailed multiple places, and no one has called back or responded.

  - We might be unique in that regard, for all I know. also we’re in conshy borough, not one of the townships, if that makes a difference. -- nm* - znufrii Aug 3, 12:30
everything is private around here (except for in Philly - which is handled by the city) -- nm - decline Aug 3, 12:27 10
- Conshy picks up its own trash, thankyouverymuch. -- nm - znufrii Aug 3, 12:28 9
