^ if so, how much?

I was thinking like $5 per bag, i usually have 5 bags of garbage every week, so $25 seems fair

what do y'all think?

    I usually leave them a little something on top of the pile. Still not sure if they've figured it out or if they've been throwing my money away.

    We don't have that where I live. We have several bins to use and it's like $90 every 3 months. They get paid well. And all they do is drive a truck up and down the street with an automatic arm to lift the bins.

    Don't think it's a thing in Vancouver. They can't not collect our garbage

    No, I pay a bill. That's tip enough. They make decent wages.

    I pay too much already.

    About 12 years ago, they refused to pick up my Yard debri and left a note saying it was too heavy. I drove it down to their Corporate office and dumped it out on their walkway in front of the door.

    Absolutely NOT!

    My garbage man put a Christmas card in a Ziploc bag before the holiday letting me know he appreciates receiving tips. First pick up after the holiday my can looked liked it was booted. :p

    He can boot the can every week for all I care. Still not giving him a tip EVER
