It helps me understand the rural/urban divide. I've lived all my life in cities or surburbia. I've always had my trash picked up and I was astounded a few times on vacation when we had to take our trash to the dump. We have to pay the garbage pick up fees whether we use or not. We pay by the size fo our can. I rely on government services. The dump is about 30 miles away and doesn't take much. The fees are very high. We have steep fines for litering and if you dumped on the side of the road you would probably be caught. Life is just different.
