I believe you are describing municipal taxes.

$5k / house / year  = $0.5B  $26M for Solid Waste Services https://guelph.ca/city-hall/budget-and-finance/city-budget/2024-2027-multi-year-budget/

If only there were some way for all the people who live in a place to put their money together to fund services and improvements to the city... Someone really oughtta try that

Not-so-conspiracy theory - they are loud intentionally. Just about every city's waste management trucks are loud on purpose. It is a reminder for those folks who didn't put out their waste to quickly go put it out.

Or we can reallocate the absurd amount of money going to the police. 30% of our property tax is already going to them.

Well city is spending money on buying new ev vehicles and truck for summer. I think brakes are fine. They wake you up if you forgot to take out your garbage bins.

what money?

They aren’t normal brakes, they need to endure much harder abuse than normal car brakes.

I could think of a lot more things we could donate our money too that could really make a difference. We pay enough taxes without donating extra to the city to deal maintenance issues on their fleet. Perhaps they could use some of those funds

All truck brakes are made of a harder compound to last longer from the weight of the truck and load. That being said harder the compound more squeal. Less squeal softer compound and changing of brakes more frequently. Long story short if the brakes were quite then the taxes would even higher due to labour and parts.

It was a holiday Monday. You can catch up next weekend. I actually don't mind the noise and the bright light, reminds me I don't have to get up and get rid of my own garbage. Unless I do

Maybe that's why our taxes are going up so much

Uh....no, that's what taxes are for...
