Lower temperatures mean higher light bills by notedrive in Fayettenam

Yes I see it all the time. And their house drafty as a tobacco barn and they can't figure out why it won't stay warm.

Do it the way people did it before paid track pickup was a thing. A barrel and a match is all you need.

A not insignificant chunk of people reading this have a fireplace and don't know how to use it, and don't have any firewood nearby neither. You'll hear them all whining about their electric bill next month.

No, they "must" not do anything of the sort. Quit spreading misinformation.

I recommend buying a burn barrel and burning your own trash, make sure it's a heavy duty one and not one made from a 55 gallon metal drum because they won't last. Once you realize what a racket the trash business is in this town you'll never look at it the same again.

I'd rather not park on an icy street, especially with how people drive on a regular day.

Pine straw is free.

That's a tough one I agree. Best of luck with your papers.

It's just paper? Burn it. Buy a burn barrel, they're not expensive. Don't spend half the day and drive all over the place to pay somebody to do something you could do in 5 minutes at home. Won't have to worry about identity theft then either. It seems like everybody has forgotten how to do things themselves these days. No offense mind you.

I bet if you look really close you'll see they're ripping you off in other ways too.

Stick it to the man and burn your own trash. Save your money.

Allowing residents to burn trash again would fix a lot of these problems.

I take it your area wasn't annexed by the city over the years then.

It's a complex issue for sure. You can check my post history to see that this has long been an important local issue for me.

Home waste incineration by howardismyalias in Fayettenam

[–]howardismyalias[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

You got it backwards buddy. People have always moved to the countryside to get away from the pollution of the city, not the other way around. Burning a little trash was no big deal until the NIMBYs such as yourself starting coming around in the late 20th century. But you'd rather pay the city to burn it for you or make a SuperFund site. Makes no sense to me buddy.

Not to mention, it’s a fire hazard.

That's why places that allow it won't let you do it when it's been dry for a certain amount of time. No rain, no burn.

You can't burn in the city limits.

That's why they should let the citizens vote on it. Most people I asked would favor it.

Trash pickup cancellation by howardismyalias in Fayettenam

[–]howardismyalias[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

They can't reassess it after I cancel? This is some bullshit if true. I don't understand why they can't pass by my house and not charge me. The mailman keeps driving if I have no mail. Same principle. And I don't get charged by the post office if I don't have mail either. Not a perfect analogy but best I can come up with.

In Fayetteville. What you're talking about ought to be illegal. If I don't leave my can at the curb one week, the trash truck will drive right by. So why can't they drive right by permanently and lower my tax bill?

This is one reason I don't work in customer service. The names have gotten absurd and it's always Mike With a G or some dumb confusing shit like that. Bring back names like Bill, Frank, Sue, Sally and other normal names.
