But then the marina would have to get the city to pay to have the
trash hauled out of the marina. The marina charges because they
have to pay to get rid of your trash. If the local communties want
to encourage visits, then they have to somehow help defray the costs
incurred by the marina for such visits. In the case of trash, someone
has to pay the trash company for their services. Marina, city, or
cruiser. Who produces the trash, so who should to pay to dispose of it?
I have to pay for it where I live, so why should I expect someone
else to pay for it if I need to get rid of it where I travel?

Speaking of trash..

I was surprised then they wanted to charge me $3.50 for a small bag of
trash
at the dock at Deer Harbor in the San Juans, WA.

It these local communities want to encourage visits by boater and want
these
boaters to refrain from tossing trash in the water or in the woods, there
shouldn't be any charge for trash.
