We pay a lovely $13/mth for our garbage pick up, but you recycle on your own. Which is fine the recycling center is conveniently located.
We have no sewer or water bills.
BUT! We are in S. Granville, not Wake. So there better be a difference,
I live in N. Raleigh (in the city limits) and am therefore on city water and sewer. Below is what I paid for water/sewer, trash, recycling, along with the storwmater fee. The storwmter fee is collected by the city to fund an Engineering Position and stormwater program to comply with the Neuse River Stormwater and other Environmental Regulations. Some people like to complain that it is some sort of "Rain Tax" but I think it is a good thing and it goes a long way to ensure all the development in Raleigh is not destroying the water quality.
I get a Bill Every two months. Water consumption is only for two people, and while I do hand water my flower bed, I do not irrigate my lawn (it is already dead!) Hope this helps!
Water is obviously metered and you pay for what you use. Does anyone know how sewer bills are calculated? I'm assuming some formula tied to water usage based on the fact my water and sewer bills are close in dollar amounts.
They might consider, in *rural* areas like northwest Johnston County where there are several waste management companies running around, contracting one single firm for a particular area. Kinda like cable.
I remember seeing three or four different garbage trucks going around where I used to live, only picking up for their customers. It's loud (especially at around 6 am when you might still be sleeping) it further congests already-congested roads because they will block off half the road at every stop, and it is wasteful from an energy standpoint. And it's expensive.
Zero for us. We have a well and septic, and take our trash/recyclables to the local convenience center ourselves once a week.
