Does recycling really lower my taxes?
YES! Seriously! We're not joking. The Town of Hortonia has contracts with Graichen Sanitation to pick up Garbage and Recyclables from 400 residential units (no commercial or industrial pickup). You pay for the cost of this service on your tax bill - it's listed as "REFUSE". The contracts stipulate a fixed fee for pickup, but the cost of garbage disposal is passed on as an additional fee based on weight (look below to see cost trends). There is NO disposal fee for recyclables! NONE!! So, in a nutshell, garbage is subject to a disposal fee which is passed on to you in your tax bill, but, recyclables are not subject to a disposal fee = no additional cost. Bottom line: recycling lowers your tax bill.

Does recycling really lower my taxes?
YES! Seriously! We're not joking. The Town of Hortonia has contracts with Graichen Sanitation to pick up Garbage and Recyclables from 391 residential units (no comercial commercial or industrial pickup). You pay for the cost of this service on your tax bill - it's listed as "REFUSE". The contracts stipulate a fixed fee for pickup but the cost of garbage disposal is passed on as an additional fee based on weight (look below to see cost trends). There is NO disposal fee for recyclables! NONE!! So, in a nutshell, garbage is subject to a disposal fee which is passed on to you on your tax bill, but, recyclables are not subject to a disposal fee = no additional taxes. Bottom line: recycling lowers your taxes.
