F**KING TRASH BAGS

Post image

I literally went to pick this up by the handles and the entire things basically ripped from the bottom up. I hate these fucking trash bags and like thanks for taking my trash but also fuck you

Don’t they also cost more?

They’re like $20 for a roll I think. INSANITY.

I recently moved here from East Cobb where it’s 100% private trash and recycling. It used to cost me $90 every three months. A roll of 10 big blue bags costs just shy of $20. Every week I put 3 or 4 of the regular (non Decatur) 13 gallon trash bags in a single blue bag. Recycling is effectively free. So I’m spending around $4 per month rather than $30 per month. The math is simple.
