Letter: Garbage rules more strict in other places

Thursday, May 4, 2006 | 7:31 a.m.

Regarding the Sun's May 2 story, "Snowbirds buried in garbage bills they believe they shouldn't have to pay":

We own a second home in California that is unoccupied most of the year. We also tried to stop garbage collection - we pay $19.80 per month - but were denied there.

We don't like that, but it is understandable - how is the garbage collector to know which houses have paid and which have not? Also, since most garbage collection rules are more strict than in Las Vegas, many neighbors may put garbage out at your house in addition to their own so that more will be picked up.

The garbage company is really caught between a rock and a hard place. We gave up.
