  - yup, all the houses are pretty much the same here too. - znufrii Feb 11, 07:00
- I think it's #2 because it's a company that we pay but it's negotiated contract by the city -- nm - oblique Feb 11, 06:52 3
  - I think that makes it #1? we had that in Ithaca. huge pain in butt. We had to put tags on ever bag. ($3 per tag, IIRC) -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:54 2
    - I hate the tags. I like how our place does it. They take whatever is at the curb + 1 "large" item per week (couch, appliance, etc) -- nm - oblique Feb 11, 06:59 1
      - that's much better. they WEIGHED our bags and rejected them if they were too heavy. - loosilu Feb 11, 07:00
