I agree with the content of Mr. McTaggart’s letter regarding charities.
On many occasions when paying my bills I have been asked by the cashier if I would like yo donate to a specific charity and I was always given the opportunity of accepting or declining.
The issue with the disposal company is not the amount of the extra fee, the issue is forcing customers to contribute without any input on whether they want to contribute or what charity they want to support.
The disposal company did not give me a choice when they made their decision to charge me an extra fee, however, I do have a choice on who picks up my garbage and I have decided to give my business to another company.
