> Yep the council do if for you, but don't forget we pay AT LEAST £120/$200 per month for council tax. Thats charged per house. Its actually quite alot and then don't forget we pay aload of income tax too. Anyway, the council take away your trash too. And what else do they do? I don't know. Its I guess a 'community tax'.
So true, and they're goign to start charging for trash soon by the sounds of it (to increase recycling). The council maintain parks and public buildings, sweep the streets, issue parking tickets, deal with planning permission etc - good and bad I guess, but we pay massess for it
