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

I completely disagree and think the system here works exceptionally well.

Compared to where I lived before, the fact that they come twice a week and take anything you put out is fantastic. And if you have a huge item, all it takes is a phone call to the district.

It's ideal, frankly.
