Ah, Seattle—turns out that once you start trash pick-up service from the city, the only way it ever stops is if the house is demolished. (& since it’s linked to the water and sewer service, ditto for them.)
So the only way I can stop paying for it is when I have a name to transfer it into. That, of course, requires having someone to buy my house, so not yet.
However, here’s a particularly Seattleite twist: for the privilege of not having pick-up service, I can pay $6.85 per month.
I don’t know how they arrived at that figure, but it’s better than what I do pay now; & there's no point in asking a functionary why they're doing what they're doing.
Can’t wait to get out of this burg.
