My trash pickup fee is included in the yearly property tax bill and costs $249. Water and sewer are billed separately.
The city has to pay for the trash pickup one way or another, so including it in the property taxes makes sense to me. For people who rent, they may not see a bill for it, but it surely figures into the rent amount.
I glad you asked the question for this post; reading the replies is fascinating even though it makes me curious for a lot more details (how far north or south does everyone live; how do they heat and cool their house; do they have a gas bill separate from the charges they listed, or do they use a fireplace; how many kWh are used per month, etc).
