[who knows what evil?]

There’s no ‘taxpayer funded’ trash pick-up; but there are PLENTY of independent contractors...I have my trash picked up every week, and I am defiinitely in a rural area, with bobcats and the occasional ‘mountain lion’ roaming the area.

Oh, I paid $20 a month for pick up back in 1988.

I know a lot of places don’t have town pick up. But my town had virtually nothing. Except a tax collector! Ha Ha.
