Do you burn your trash or does the city pick it up?

We've always done some of both. Garbage service is expensive enough for just one can, so we save where we can. It's cheaper to burn.

The city picks it up.

Regular trash pick. I think burning your trash can be a good idea, but only if the area you live in permits it and only if you're burning non-hazardous materials. I heard a story of one family who was plagued with mysterious illness because the trash burning neighbor had released harmful chemicals by burning tires. Be careful of what you burn.

Burning is only allowed sometimes here, plus I live in a rental. So the landlord pays for our garbage to be picked up once a week. Its really rural here, so recycling isn't offered.
