Tim, do you have to cart your garbage to the dump in your car, like
Harry does?

Nope, trash night it womorrow morning. Just need to have it to the curb by 5am. At the farm the trash (mostly cardboard and paper products) goes right into whe wood stove...

Metals go into the recycle barrel then to tune local scrap yard. No I don't need to haul anything like that.

We just have paper and foil trash, and empty metal cans and bottles,
which I haul once a week a few miles to the local county trash out. It's
one of those non-libertarian services.

A non-libertarian service would pick it up in front of your house.
I am still not sure why you think libertarians want to eliminate every
thing the government does. We just want a choice.
It sounds like what you have there. I am sure if you had enough
neighbors/voters interested, you would have a county contract with a
mobbed up union carting service who would haul away your trash.
You seem to live among more libertarians than I do but that does not
surprise me. Do they get the same rancor you bestow on me?

leftovers we're not going to eat go out into the woods for
the critters.

Feeding the rats? OK I suppose, if that is the way you want to go.
Most people who actually care about wildlife, say you should not feed
them. It interrupts the natural balance and is usually not the food
they are supposed to be eating anyway.
I do understand this is more laziness than anything else tho. Just
throw your garbage out in the yard and let the environment suffer from
it.

We had a private service that charged $25 a month for a weekly pickup,
but over the years that price rose to $100 a month, and over the years,
they went from two guys and a truck to one guy driving the truck and
operating a lift at the front of the truck. There are still a few
neighbors who use these private services, but the majority hit the
county "trashout" once or twice a week.

We've watched the "rats" come for the stuff we toss at the edge of the
woods. They're all wearing raccoon, fox, skunk, possum and squirrel
costumes.

Hey, I admire libertarians for their naivety, rugged individualists all.
