Save Money on Garbage Service
You may not have many garbage collection services to choose from in which case this post isn’t for you. However, we got a flier on the front door from one of the three services we can choose from. Their prices are 25% less expensive than the current service provider we’re using and in a discussion with our neighbors their employees consistently do a better job of picking up garbage that might fall out of the cans as they’re being lifted into the trucks!
Shop around with your phone and make sure that you are getting the best deal that you can on services you’re paying for. By saving $15.00 four times a year we’re saving $60.00 a year - that’s good money over 30 years (to pick a biggish number): $1,800.00, or if put into an investment account at 5% $4,444.96. A 10% return would get you $11,903.57.

Along the same lines, my old neighborhood came together and shopped around to see who would give them the best rate if we (over 30 households) committed to their service. Our waste collection cost was reduced considerably. Also, the roads got less wear and tear because only one big truck was coming through weekly rather than three.
