Isn't garbage output the same, just in different locations? If anything further centralization of collection should be expected to reduce costs. Water is similar. I'll acknowledge that in a few specific geographic locations there are genuine concerns about the total available supply but that is not the norm. It also isn't some insurmountable problem unless you're in the middle of a vast inland desert (which departs even farther from the norm). If the local government is failing to oversee the necessary improvements to infrastructure then from my perspective that's a failure of the political process.
