I have been away for a month, so there has been nothing on my driveway to be picked up during that time, and the bundle of garden waste was clearly fresh (having been cut down yesterday) so are they just expecting the "special" collectors to pick up all unbagged garden waste?
I would call the trash collector (for us it is CSU), and complain about the lack of picking up yard waste. I have had no problems putting out palm fronds ever since the recycling and yard waste pickups disappeared.
