Sound Off  Sound Off: Is the city, since it’s going to make it
mandatory to have trash carts, willing to sell the carts rather
than renting the carts? Can a person have that option to buy
rather than rent?  This answer was provided by Megan Gilliland,
the city’s communications manager: No. The first trash cart will
be included in the monthly solid waste fee. There is no rental
charge, unless a customer wishes to have more than one cart. The
rental fees for additional carts pays for the costs of higher
waste generation, including the time it takes to collect the
materials, landfill fees, and so on.    Commenting has been
