Cutting the number of times trash is picked up weekly might help the residents consider the amount of their consumption. Where I live we only have once a week pick up, and we are a family of four. If consumers are concerned, such as in Manatee County like the article states, with their trash over flowing from the reduced number of pick ups, then they should probably take a good look at how much they consume and find a way to decrease their amount of waste. Doing so would be a great contribution to the environment and ecosystem.

The cut back on the truck usage would also decrease their amount of greenhouse emissions and would have a positive effect on the environment as well.
