Jerry's comments about how much Riverside was paying for trash service ("half as much") just didn't ring true for some reason...so I did a quick check on the web.  You will find...

•  Riverside just switched to a new provider, Town and Country, on Jan 1.
• They are provided two of the push-type garbage receptacles
• The trash service in Riverside is provided to residents, free of charge.
• The income from casino revenue is the source for the funding.
• They have service has a novel recycling approach which allows the residents to put recyclables in the regular trash...which is sorted later at the garbage sorting center.
• It is easy to mandate trash service when the city is paying the bills

It just points out the need for due diligence when comparing current WL service to others.
