In IB, California, I'm paying $105 every three months for 1 trash and 1 recycling bin. With weekly pickup.

A quick Google tells me that in NYC trash companies are limited to $15.89 per hundred pounds.

Either OP has Oscar the Grouch levels of trash to dispose of, or the whole thing is made up.

My guess is that they’re rural. Lots of rural communities have such high trash fees that they’ll opt to just burn it instead. Because no trash company wants to drive 45 minutes outside of town just for one pickup, and the local municipality doesn’t cover them because they’re outside of the city limits.
