[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trash pick up is not free in most of moco.  It’s obviously not an excuse to dump trash but moco should provide the service for everyone not just some. We all pay taxes. 
I live in Burtonsville and none of us have trash pick up, we have to pay privately.

I've never lived in a place with private contractors for trash pickup. I'm sure a lot of people try to save money and just dump their trash where ever.

Most places I have lived have had municipal trash pickup that is mandatory and you get a bill from the city every month. [/quote]

Bulk trash pickup is definitely not free in Montgomery County for people who live in multi-family dwellings. Multi-family dwellings have to contract with private companies for trash pickup — including bulk trash. In my case, in a condo, I pay state and local taxes, property taxes, and condo fees — and still would have to pay additional fees for any bulk trash pickup.  “Bulk” in my case includes anything other than flattened boxes, recyclables and bagged household trash with size limits. Many older electronics and children’s toys, for example, can’t be discarded without paying fees and arranging for pickups.

My old apartment had dumpsters — which was great.
