It is very antiquated and unhygienic how we have it here in the Villages. Leaving trash on the ground gets a crazy amount of bugs/rodents, and makes a soupy mess when it rains. It's also terrible for the crew to have to handle leaky dirty cardboard and trash bags flying around in the rain overnight.

Find My District - The Villages Community Development Districts

I recommend people find their CDD reps here and email them a simple request to modernize the system as I have done as well.

Thank you
You have it the wrong way around. The civilized way IS the way it is done in The Villages and the incompetent and lots of work and noisy way is the way it is done up north, in my megapolis too.

I am waiting when recycling by burning everything that can be burned and turning into electrical energy to lower our hydro bills is going to be DISCOVERED in the cities too. And garbage - all of it - is picked up twice a week like here, instead of once every 14 days!

There are no bugs or rodents on our bags especially if you use scented ones. Or you can spray Lysol if a renter next door, puts out food garbage because they don’t know how to use the garbage disposal (which is not allowed in my northern city because the ancient sewer system can’t handle it). Relax. I am sorry that you are panicking but you really don’t need to.
