Yes, and this is pretty common even in areas where the population isn't particularly spread out.

This is common in many areas of suburban MA within 30 minutes of Boston.

Makes sense and I've seen it in mountain & destination communities where a lot of the trash is from transients. However, it's possible that could lead to people not disposing of trash properly or burning it. My grandma used to burn her trash when she lived on a farm.
Some rich folks pay companies like Waste Management to do it for them.
What's wrong with that model?
