F. Yoder of Paris says the city council "has been bilking the public" for a long time. His issue is that roughly six times a year, maybe fewer if a holiday doesn't fall on a regular trash day, his trash is not picked up. This is six times out of 104 scheduled pick-ups. Mr. Yoder says that his monthly rate should be adjusted when that happens. At the cost of less than $2 per pick-up Mr. Yoder erroneously thinks he's being bilked out of about $12 a year. Well, Mr. Yoder, I'm sure the city will be glad to adjust that rate if you don't add that trash to your next pick-up. After all, why should they give you a trash pick-up you haven't paid for? So just leave those six days of stinky mess in your garage all year and save yourself the approximate $12 it cost the city to pick them up.
