      100%. i have multiple heavy duty bins, each colored according to function (trash, recycle, yard) and they are all provided for no fee by the city. if one gets creamed by the truck, goes missing, or otherwise fails, i call a number and a replacement is dropped off by a city worker within a day.

      it's basically Moscow in 1950s here. :khrushchev-fist:

      i live in a place libs love to make a punchline out of as backward, conservative, and inbred (even though statistically, inbreeding is more of a past time of urban elites and aristocratic families trying to narrow the band of wealth inheritance).

      we have our problems, but handling our trash is not one of them. meanwhile, NYC sends >40, 2-ton trucks everyday loaded with trash to giant holes in the ground as far away as Virginia to handle the amount of refuse they discard. truly, the nexus of sophistication.
