Wow right when I was thinking I was turning into a crabby old man I find all these horrible reviews! There are indeed ridiculously expensive. I can't go 6 weeks without them missing one of the three bins, garbage, yard waste or recycling. Weirdly when I ask my neighbors they seem fine with them. In my area I have no option but to use them. I am SO frustrated by them I almost feel like buying a small pickup and take everything to the dump.
