Well, I refuse to buy trash bags! Yes -- refuse.
I use WalMart bags or whatever I happen to have and somehow, my trash still gets picked up, regardless of which side of the driveway the bags are on.
The color of the bags doesn't seem to matter either.

I agree the bags are unsightly.
Seeing them in front of just about every house reminds me of what some inner-city neighborhoods look like.
In addition, we really don't need trash pickup twice a week.
It would be much less expensive and make more sense to only have pickup once a week.

Some think garbage cans are unsightly and where would they be stored? Let’s face it lots of people are just lazy no matter what system it looks unsightly. I walk early morning and I see holes in bags all the time from critters with wings, tails, and house pets (cats) let out to roam. Some people don’t see the a problem cause the trash is long gone before the get up.
