In Australia we pay about $700 a year to the local government to collect the bins
worth noting though this is not like a “you sort it out” thing or anything… it’s basically a tax
*council. It's part of your rates. My last were like $150 for recyc/garbage/green
$780 here annually
Jesus. You sure that's not total rates incl fire service?
I'm sure, just changed my bins for an extra garden waste one
Is a council not a government?
Governing body, certainly. In vic, they're considered a low tier of govt. In NSW they're actually considered 'elected corporate bodies'. It's weird.
