Ok so I don't know if this has happened to any other state/city then mine but here's the scenario:
One day, I woke up to find a blue bin on my curb. The blue bin was for recycling. Here's the catch. I get charged every month for just having this recycle bin; whether or not I actually use it to recycle. Wouldn't this be a taxation?
Here's the garbage companies defense: We're distributing the bins as zones and not as each and every individual. Therefore it's something like a gas meter or pressure meter. It's just a requirement.
But don't you think that it's a tax? I mean, I did not choose to do this, no one voted on it, someone just right out decided to make us pay for recycling. We called the garbage people and they said, "There is no way to get out of this. You can do whatever you want with the bin but we hope you use it to recycle. If not, some people have used it as a planter and even a cat bed.
So tell me, what's your opinion on this?
