Competition for trash hauling would cut costs

To the editor:

When I lived in St. Louis County, there were several trash-hauling companies, creating competition for my business. The one I chose had once-a-week trash pickup and once-a-week recycling. But the big difference was that I was allowed up to eight containers at a cost of $10 a month on the senior citizens' discount. That's quite a difference, don't you think?
