People in rural Florida can't afford to pay their trash pickup bills.

>trash pickup business
There is no mafia. He was a legitimate businessman.

Waste Management gave up his county so it should be a sign there is no money to be made if the mega trash monopoly got out.

Isn't it always more economical to just burn trash anyways?

>>512475047
It used to be common until the 90s I think but now even the most rural places have some kind of trash pickup.

Some places in the rural south had no organized garbage collection until the 70's.

y'all niggers aint from the country. 70s? most? lol

>>512475871
There are places with no trash collection today.
If you go out to places in the Appalachia you'll find them burning their trash in the backyard.

>>512475047
A lot of corporations lobbied to ban in a bunch of areas to try to force people to pay them.

>trash pick up business
do Americans really?

>>512478563
We are allowed to invest in oil wells too and then eventually get saddled with the cleanup cost.

>>512478739
see, I dont even understand what you are implying as underlying context here. The US is as alien as China when it comes to business and government.

>>512478898
Its a lot of legal scams to create bag holders. Then if you complain some legal jew just says "its the letter of the law." Then conservatives will say something about due diligence and personal responsibility.

This happens in Germany

Trash pickup is very stingy, you get max 1-2 bins of non recyclable trash a month regardless of family size.

Lately the state has hiked all municipal taxes and fees, including garbage, to cover the money they blew on the Ukraine. Poors can't afford to take out the trash and leave it on rivers and vacant lots.

>Trash pickup is very stingy
Yeah its the trash company that is stingy not the morons leaving trash in the river.

Stories from rural Eastern Germany

The local trash company tried making us recycle about a decade ago and had to drop it because locals just started burning it.
Rural living.

>>512479948
I heard the same stories about my ancestors living outside of Chicago during the Great Depression era. Bury glass bottles in a hole. If you have a old broken car just drive it into the river.

>>512475047
Before plastics were popular, yes. After, not so much. Melted plastic has to be discarded.

>>512478563
Having your municipality collect garbage is communism.

>>512475047
Burn everything now. Garbage tags are $5/bag here. We don't even make much for trash and it's mostly cardboard. I couldn't be assed to pay $10 to get two small bags hauled away by the town asshole.

I love how around moving day there are mattresses and furniture abandoned on the road or in someone else's dumpster and civil servants still haven't found a solution to this.

Also cheap mexico contractors leaving their construction debris illegally dumped after bottom dollar bathroom remodel.

>>512473906 (OP)
If you can still produce trash you are not poor yet.

Lots of rural towns have a dump where you drive to drop off your trash

>>512475871
You get a landfill pass and you haul your own trash to the landfill. Many places are still like that, city boy.

>>512481650
>civil servants still haven't found a solution to this.
In my city you can request a skip.
They'll leave it on a parking spot near your old home for a few days so you have plenty of time to get rid of old furniture and flooring and such.

Then India must be the richest country on Earth

>>512473906 (OP)
I stopped throwing my trash in the bin.

I now empty it on my way to the supermarket and other places I go.
If you aren't making the lives of the goyim nigger cattle as unpleasant as possible you aren't really a bad goy.

>>512482011
>haul your own trash
And get your shiny new pickup truck all dirty and smelly?
Makes far more sense to have dedicated garbage trucks going door-to-door even if it's spread out the total trip will be shorter than everyone driving back and forth themselves.

>>512481951
I saw that in Sweden and thought it was a good idea but I haven't actually seen in in the US. Probably because some junk hauling business would abuse it.

>>512482011
Mutts that can't hold a gum wrapper inside their nice car until they find a trash can are supposed to put stinky garbage inside their car?

(((WINNING)))

>>512473906 (OP)
As a rural Floridian, we have to pick up the trash to the dump ourselves.

>>512482125
Based. I use the trash cans at bus stops. I don't even have that much trash. Most things go into my compost.

>>512481951
Yeah, that's even more expensive. Guy eyeballs your 2 smashed sheets of drywall and says $60.

>>512475047
Yes, rednecks still burn trash, but then you have a big pile of burned trash. They also dump trash in the woods.

>>512482492
How far do you have to drive?

>>512482011
>>512482431
There are dump stations, one is 15 minutes from my house

>>512482431
White Americans litter much less than people of other countries. Also, reason #327 why Americans love pickup trucks.

>>512482700
15 mins.

>>512475047
humans are so fucking stupid it's insane

>>512482774
They just hire Mexicans to litter for them.

>>512482920
The most common way that white men litter is by throwing trash in the back of their trucks and then having it blow out while driving.

>>512482903
Even Bhutan the Buddhist hermit kingdom, has a trash disposal problem.

>>512473906 (OP)
I burn rubbish like grandpa taught me, if it don't burn just throw it in the weeds boy.

>>512482272
You're not grasping how empty most of our country is compared to yours.

>>512483234
Is that why you drink bottled water because ground water is polluted?

>>512482552
You have a yearly pre-paid pass. They dont scrutinize what you dump unless you're dropping off refrigerators and tires and shit like that.

>>512479714
>rain and uv protector covers for trash bins
now that's sophisticated

>>512483352
No I only drink bottled water when the well floods during a downpour retard.

>>512483468
What's a year cost for you guys?
They don't do that shit in my area, the last time I went to the small dump in town they actually got in the truck to poke around. Big shit, I couldn't imagine what they'd try to charge. On the rare occasion I have enough big crap I do the three hour drive to the city.

>>512483343
It doesn't matter how empty it is.
Everyone driving 1000 miles takes longer than one guy visiting every place with the one exception where nobody shares a road and there are no shortcuts in which case it takes the exact same time.

>>512483777
Like 125/yr or something like that? I moved to a place that has trash pickup years ago, so I'm not sure what its now?

Garbage collection is actually a pretty good indicator of a nation's overall health.
If everything is working optimally then all the people pay some taxes so that the government is able to pick up the garbage and streets stay clean. Simple stuff.

But if shit starts going sour a number of things can happen
>government officials become corrupt, use garbage collection money to fund personal extravagances or vanity projects instead
>citizens become too poor to pay enough tax money to keep the system running smoothly
>garbage men stop feeling dutiful towards their nation and start demanding more money for their work
>citizens become degenerate and no longer care about the overall state of their nation so they start littering

A nation full of garbage is a failed nation.
If you look on Google Street View and there's garbage lying on every street, it's a bad country to live in, and usually everyone is to blame, from the bottom to the top.
A healthy nation filled with healthy people is characterized by order, cleanliness and a sense of safety. Pic related is what every nation should strive towards.

There should be a national policy to reduce the volume of packaging or make it biodegradable. A wilderness area nearby was full of homeless for a while and after a wild fire swept through there were still bottles and cans everywhere even if a lot of other random garbage burned.

>>512483967
A garbage truck and employees to spend a whole day visiting a handful of customers isn't remotely profitable.

>>512484109
That's not so bad.

I was born and raised rural, but I hate the attitudes of my neighbors that are poisoning our land. Everyone still burns garbage, even though now it's all plastic and styrofoam, they spray crops, lawn, and livestock with jew chemicals, and treat fence posts with used motor oil. The concept of accumulation is completely foreign to these morons. They think that because it's what their grandaddy did it's what they can continue to do. I'm not even some hippy, I just love the land and feel a responsibility to take care of it.

Where does all the trash go? Why have I never seen one of those infamous landfills or the floating trash islands in the ocean? Where does all our stuff go?

>>512484246
Minimum wagies doing the job is more efficient that people with proper jobs.
Even simple farmers shouldn't be wasting their time driving to garbage dumps and back.

>>512484681
>Why have I never seen one of those infamous landfills
Plenty of footage of those.

>or the floating trash islands in the ocean?
That one is indeed a hoax.

So apparently if you are in the midwest you have to pickup the leaves and give them to the trash man but if you are really really rural then the leaves can just decompose on your property. I think this had something to do with stopping people from burning them but why can't they understand compost?

>>512485112
oh, so they are creating trash mountains.That's reassuring.
Reminds me a bit of the Chinese documentary Behemoth except for dark skies and gloom, there is sunshine and funky sunglasses to accompany the major machines.

>>512478563
outside of cities, yes. I moved from a small 100k city that had free trash pickup to a small town of 5k where I have to pay 100 bucks every 90 days. It's not too bad considering my cost of living is drastically lower out here. I could go to the dump for free but I cba

>>512485777
Suburbanites hate nature and natural things like leaves on the ground give them the ick.

>>512486244
Its like a weird tradition there. Almost a seasonal celebration.

here in Poland we are responsible and sort all our trash
to these whitch we burn at day and to those who we burn at day

>>512487550
Interesting system.

>>512487780
see some trash simply produces too much black smoke to be burned at day without anyone noticing
we also dump them to forests or water cannals/anti fire trenches nature will take care of it probably
for example i throw car batteries to sea and when i come back next day they are gone
this means these batteries must be needed by nature for something

>>512485777
same reason the yard must be mowed every week or two by mexicans and sprayed with chemicals to keep the mosquitos from breeding.

lol. lmao.

>>512486215
its not 'free', you pay for it with taxes, they tell you exactly how much they charge for the trash pick.

nobody in the US is a slave to you, doctors dont work for free either.

>>512479714
>you get max 1-2 bins of non recyclable trash a month regardless of family size.
no retard
you just don't want to pay for it

non-recyclable is billed by the size of your bin

you're just a cheap bastard OP

>>512478563
Trash collection is something those city slickers do.

>>512481594
Wait... you have to pay the govt $5 for every bag of trash? Dude, leave. You can be a refugee in my basement.
