Cable cost

The average monthly cable package is now $217.42 per month. That’s more than the average household’s monthly cost for all other major utilities combined.

The cable bill might be for more than simply television. Cable companies may advertise one price for service and then tack on broadcast fees, cable box rentals or other costs that can easily add $50 or more to a monthly bill. Another common strategy is to upsell bundled service packages which make it difficult to understand exactly how much is being spent on cable television itself.

Satellite TV cost

The average price per month for satellite TV is approximately $91.35.

Garbage pickup cost

The cost of trash and garbage collection services in Florida is between $25 and $100 per month. The payment for this service is generally collected on a quarterly basis while the garbage will be picked up on a weekly basis. The cost of a basic 20-gallon trash bin starts at $10 and can reach $45 monthly. Larger bins and recycling bins cost a bit more.
