I pay taxes in Jackson County. Why do I have to pay to dispose of my garbage?
Some of the surrounding counties include garbage disposal in their tax digest, but Jackson County does not. The system we use is called "pay-as-you-throw". It is similar to other utilities, in that you pay for what you use.
