    It is sustainable when you create perceived value in your company, and then charge for your services. I am charging for 50 percent of my pick ups, and I encourage everyone else to consider the same. The garbage man does not pick up for free, why should you? We are providing a service that has value, and should be compensated for it within reason.

    I guess in a bigger area I might be able to charge........Yes the garbage man does pick up for free here (I'm sure taxes are included in this as we have a state wide sales tax/property tax etc.).....There are multiple free dumps here for garbage as well..........Not sure how that would work out for some of us..........If you can get someone to pay you to haul off semi-valuable material you GO!!!!!!!!!!!...........

    I completely agree in business there are already so many hidden, pay this, pay that fees. I call them "tag your it's". TRANSPORTATION is one I think a lot of us miss charge, we don't get back anywhere near, what we expend. Also get paid for the service you provide and the knowledge you know (that is a service).

    I acknowledged it wasn't Free (TAXES ETC)......but when you pull in you do not have to pay out of pocket......They are called convenience centers and they are for the "betterment" of the community........It does keep a lot of illegal dumping from going on

    I get you, that would help with illegal dumping.
