My WM service is included in my Bexar Met bill. Ask your water company about it. Is your WM service not part of your water bill?

ahh, nope. We get the "honor" of paying boatloads of money to WM for garbage and another at least $40-50 to SAWS for water.. So that comes out to almost $100/month for water and trash and that's only if you don't spend a lot of water

Yeah, Bexar met customers have their waste included in their bill, just like residents who live in the city. But do you get a choice on who picks up your trash? WM has so much of SA wrapped up, they don't want the business where there's comp. Who knows.

We switched to Tiger and they are really good. One day, the rain washed away our bucket. We found it, called them and they came out and got it. One other time, we forgot to bring it out again called (while they were in the neighborhood) and they came back.

Still yet another time, we had a ton of bags, heavy and piled in the backyard. A 20 dollar bill and the two guys loaded up 20 or more VERY heavy bags. Cheaper than paying to have it taken away and landfill costs. They take up to 6 containers. Theirs and 5 more. Quantity has never been a problem and all for $60 a quarter

Hey, if we ever figure a way to flush all our trash down the toilet, we could skip the extra cost of trash pick-up!

BTW: Is there any way we can pay Tiger over the internet?
