    My town has a serious shortage of trash collectors. I haven't had pick up at my house in over a year. (I take it somewhere by the way.) We have the old man who has always done it- he is full and can't take anyone new. I've been waiting years on him. He uses an old pick up with side boards.

    We also have Area, which I don't like and nobody else likes either.

    We used to have a competitor, who was bought out by area, and that's who did most of the trash in my neighborhood.

    I did real estate trash-outs with my kids for about seven years. I was thinking about buying them an old pick up to haul mine and the neighbors trash down to the landfill (10 miles) a few days a week. They've cleaned up the grossest of the gross in foreclosures.

    Last census we had about 6000 people here in town.

    I'm in southern Illinois. Who do I ask about the legalities?
    Thanks!

    I would look for an attorney, from your state, that handles business and environmental laws.

    If nothing else, they would get you pointed in the right direction.

    Hopefully, your state is not as tightly regulated and controlled by environmental whacks like California. If they had a trash situation like yours here in California, you would get a bunch of nuts with multi colored hair, chewing on trees and walking around with protest signs.
