How can I upcycle plastic containers?

Oh dear, I hear you. They need to band together with other municipalities to make it cost effective. I have a private service and pay $25 a month. For my mom's house, electric, trash, sewer and water are all lumped together and billed by the City and residents have no choices and that costs me about $300+ a month depending on how hot it is and electricity usage. Trash portion of the service $75 a month. Freaking highway robbery. I also understand about not being welcome at Council meetings, it is the same here and dealing with the fruitloop and moron mentality can be very trying on one's nerves.
