The City of Columbia has made changes to its residential trash program. The city provides 104 bags per year and residents must pay extra to get more bags.

Yes and No. My husband and I, with our 3 children hardly use that much. But, my two brother-in-laws that live with us order out constantly, that fills up the trash horribly fast.

Many homes will use more than the allotted two bags per week, having to pay extra via purchasing the city bags.

If the bags were 55 gallon bags, my vote would have been yes.

NO not at all! An average household would be a family of 4. I think it would of been more fair to say 4 bags? I agree, people who use have more trash should pay more to dispose of it but the limit should be more than2 bags. I have a daycare and 3 kids so I have tons more. But 2 bags? come on!

The question of, “are two bags enough for your household” should be, “what size trash bags are big enough for your household”. To our family of 5, it is one 55 gallon bag a week. If the city would provide the 55 gallon bags instead of these smaller ones, that would be very helpful.

This is a scam by the City of Columbia. There needs to be a class action lawsuit by citizens also; for charging recycling fees for almost a year and not delivering. There has to be some low ball attorneys out there looking to make a buck or two!!!!
