Jasper county residents will be able to haul their trash to the Carthage landfill according to Commissioner Jim Honey. Due to a 20,000 grant rates have been lowered at the Carthage landfill allowing county residents to haul off their trash. The Carthage landfill will accept items such as mattresses, box springs furniture, general trash and demolition waste. They will also accept many other recyclable items as well. Fees for different items will very from $10 to $350 depending on what and how much trash you many have.
It is great that Carthage is trying to help the people in the county by taking their trash. This helps people to get rid of their trash and helps clean up the county. I really wish that they would bring back the spring clean up. With the economy the way it is not everybody can afford to pay for their trash to be taken. That's okay, because if you don't pay then you will be fined by the city for having trash in your yard. Hm mm seems like a racket to me. Spring clean up was so that once a year people could gather the junk they had built up and get rid of it for free.
I just think that we pay for the trash to be hauled off in our water and electric bill. Plus we pay our taxes every year for different city benefits. Now they expect use to pay even more to haul off our junk ourselves. I just think the people of Carthage give and give, but the city doesn't seem to want to give back. I also think that the city has figured out that they can make a buck off our junk.
Well with this being said if they think I am going to pay someone to take my junk, they are crazy. I will haul my junk somewhere for free.
