Janz,
You might want to check out American Disposal Services,
http://www.american-disposal.com/services.html. Currently they are charging me $83.85 every three months. I believe AAA was charging me $94.95 quarterly. It didn't start out at that price but they kept raising it.
As soon as I switched AAA sent me an offer for cheaper trash service. I thought this was odd that they waited till I left them to offer me cheaper services so I'm sticking with American for now. If you find cheaper let me know.
Oh yeah, I think my neighbor doesn't even have pick up service. He takes his trash directly to the city dump on west ox road in his pick up truck. I guess it's much cheaper than pick up service but not as convenient.
Thanks.
Josh
