Mine isn't billed in therms, but in cubic feet; between the two houses,
21600 in January.

Since we just went through water usage, let me preempt the next inquiries:

        Electricity        1,011 KWH
        Sewer                $23.04
        Garbage pickup        $29.00
        Tax                $15.01

As above, that's for two houses, total of about 1900 square feet, one
occupant.

In my city (CT, USA) we have to contract with a private company for
trash removal. There are about a half dozen companies to choose from,
and the price is very close for all of them We pay $24 per month for
weekly trash and recycling pickup.

My pickup is by the city; with two houses, I pay two fees for one person.
It's a flat rate per address, and I generate so little that I put out
perhaps one can a month. Someone who puts out one every month pays the
same as I do. No way around it, though.

We pay $11/mo tacked on to the power bill, but were able to get one of
ours deferred by the health department (we have two power drops, one
on each side of the road.)
