Waste that is generated from within a household needs to be collected and processed and that requires equipment and people. Equipment costs money and people are paid wages for doing the work. The treatment plants that take our liquid/solid waste that goes down the sewer also requires electricity, equipment and people to run the operation. All these things cost money as our waste by products cannot just be dumped into the ocean or a large pit somewhere.
