But that's only good if a) you have a friendly enough relationship with your neighbor to do that and b) your neighbor is around to do that. If either of these two things is false, you'll need to get that trash out on Tuesday when you leave, or you'll be dealing with trash, plus bugs, plus mold, plus maggots, plus ungodly stench and the need to fumigate, when you get back from your trip.

If your trash day is Thursday then your other trash day is Monday. If I was leaving on Tuesday I would plan ahead to make as little trash as possible between trash pickup and when I left. Then, I would take that small amount of trash with me and find a proper receptacle along the way (usually at a gas station). Heck, start the vacation early and eat out on Monday.
