Several years ago, I bought one of these:
Electric and rechargeable, they quickly cut through all but the very thickest cardboard effortlessly and greatly increase the amount of space in my trash. I use the heck out of them!
Now what do I do ?

My favorite is when they dump the can but somehow leave half of the trash still in it. Then I have to drag it back up the mountain and hope they do better next time. I mean,,, what's so hard about emptying a garbage can ?
So your garbage collection is part of your tax bill? Where I live it is not. You pay one of three (that I know of) to collect trash. I use WM simply because they pick up on Mondays. Nice to get rid of weekend stuff right away

A blue (recyclable) lid on a green (yard waste) container? Amazing they would pick it up at all. Here, the city supplies three. Blue, green, and black (regular garbage). On the few occasions that I can’t get everything into the proper container, I put in my neighbor’s. He does not mind. Anything can go into the black container.

It's still a private contractor, but it is the only one allowed to operate here. Consider it a county approved monopoly.
Here garbage pickup is supplied by the city. We are charged the fee on our water bills.
There is a private company that serves those outside the city and many (if not most) commercial accounts. Republic is the private company, although I believe it was recently purchased by some one else.
