More than once, I've been out in the street & my front yard picking up wet flattened amazon boxes, small trash bags, water bottles, etc that had blown down wind from neighboring properties on trash day.
How unsightly & inconvenient is that to deal with?
I'd suspect a heavy trash can wouldn't be nearly as prone to 'relocate' its contents all over the neighborhood, but I understand the regs against them.
I do wish the The Villages has a centralized resident disposal area for excess trash/large items to be dropped off. It absolutely would make for a cleaner village. In the newly constructed villages, with people moving in, contractors still around, people unpacking, getting new appliances, landscaping being set up, etc .I've literally seen 6ft tall mounds of trash in driveways & yards, sitting out for days waiting for trash pick up...looked great! :/

Sometimes.
I think that mostly happens when it a new neighborhood and everyone is moving in. It has happened also when someone sold and a new neighbor moved in. I haven't ever seen it last longer than a day or two.
I guess I think that is an acceptable neighborly thing to put up with occasionally. It is was all the time that would be different, but in our neighborhood (3 years now) it is the exception, not the normal.
No where near as disturbing to me as the lawn care people driving massive diesel pickups with huge trailers to bring all the equipment they need to mow and edge my neighbors postage stamp yard. Then they complain about the high cost of diesel to drive all over mowing yard... ahem.
