City Hall and garbage pick up

I am out of the country right now, however my husband told me, that we received a bill from City Hall - 1000 pesos per month for the garbage pick up.

As far as I was informed, we were supposed to pay around 400 pesos for the service ???? A couple of weeks ago, a guy from City Hall came to the homes at my neighborhood to catch information about names, addresses etc. This guy also said, that the price would be around 400 pesos.

What is going on?? Does anybody have any information to this topic please.?

Furthermore, the garbage pick up is not working very well I believe. They are supposed to pick up the garbage every Monday and every Thursday (according to the "Junta de Vecinos") and my husband has told me, that our garbage was not picked up for the last two weeks...Shortly before I left the country I left a nicely closed big black plastic bag ( not very heavy) next to my can - and the bag is still standing there almost 3 weeks later...

I have really nothing against the fact that City Hall is picking up our garbage, however I do NOT want to be treated like an idiot - paying too much and not getting service.. If they are supposed to clean the streets and the borders too and picking up the cuttings all over Costambar I have nothing against paying 1000 pesos - BUT the job has to be done..

What is your experience? And please post some information if you have any.

Thank you
