Florida Civics EOC Practice Test

Which of the following is a local government service?

1. Regulate trade between the states

2. Make treaties with foreign governments

3. Operate the postal system

4. Trash collection

The correct answer is: Trash collection

The other options listed are services typically provided at a national or international level, rather than by local government. For example, regulating trade between states and making treaties with foreign governments are responsibilities of the federal government. Operating the postal system is largely the responsibility of the federal government, although some local post offices may be owned by local governments. However, trash collection is a service typically provided by local governments to their residents. This includes garbage, recycling, and compost collection.
