In ever knew trash could be so complicated: We have Trash picked up 2X/wk, Yard Waste 1x/wk and Recycling 1x/wk. On some days, they happen on the same morning, other days only by themselves. Trash in one type of plastic bag, Recycle in another and Yard Waste in a third type of bag.

Now that I have experienced it, I understand, and it makes sense. Where we moved from, trash was picked up 1x/wk (all trash was in one can that was picked up by a truck with an automated arm).

I am quite happy with the system here, just took some planning/scheduling and buying a stock of each type of bag for me to get it all working correctly. My Trash/Recycle/Yard Waste is now out to the curb on time and on the right day. Neighbors are a GREAT HELP as they are everywhere in The Villages.
