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.

Garbage cans are never attractive. We live in a beautiful place. Garbage cans would not make it more beautiful.
Where I live, some people put the garbage out the evening before pickup. I always put mine out on the morning of pickup. Last week mine was picked up at 7:45, but usually it is between 8-11 am. I live alone, and I always cut up or tear up or fold up little boxes, so with twice a week pickup, I only fill one kitchen trash bag (sometimes half). If there are bigger cardboard boxes, if it is raining, I don’t take them out, but morning rain is less common here than afternoon or evening rain.
