That last part is unlikely. Trash removal in the County is handled by
independent companies. Some municipalities have designated one company
to service the city, others (like mine) leave it open for anyone to
contract with whichever company they want. Recently, the County has
designated zones for unincorporated areas and selected single companies
for those areas based on a bidding system.
