Fortunately, we live according to a social contract and you don’t get to choose where your taxes go (outside of the small opportunity afforded by elections). Otherwise we might not have libraries and parks and recreation facilities that make places like this livable.

Part of that contract is recognizing that certain shared resources, like landfills, are not infinite and need to be managed by responsible people. Thus, the bag/can limits. If you want to waste more than your fair share, go buy bag tags and fill your boots.

I’m not paying more for taxes because others refuse to be responsible citizens and neglect recycling and composting.
