Thats not true though. They stopped charging the rental of containers months ago. The price is the same whether you have their can or your own.  However with their can they will replace it for free. Even if they did charge rent, the previous rental fee was 2.55$. The average cost for a decent trash can is about 120$. So you could rent their can for four years and just pay off your own can, and 9 times out of 10, your can is going to get damaged in some way, within those 4 years. So it logically makes sense to get their can.
