The biggest problem with cans is bringing them back in. By 6:45 when the trash truck leaves my neighborhood there is nothing left along the street. That wouldn't be the case if we used cans, there would be cans and lids at the end of driveways or blowing down the road all day. Much, much better the way it is now.
STRONGLY AGREE w Bill …

as well as the other Suggestion
that folks WAIT until DUSK to
bring “Trash Bags” to Curbside …

… as to Maintain the Curb Appeal
throughout the neighborhoods

A Primary Reason my Wife and I were First Attracted to the Villages was due to the Picturesque neighborhoods !!

My Immediate Description, that
I continue to use to describe it is,

“The communities appear
like a Disney Park for Adults.”

That Goes Without Say:
Garbage Cans/Bins at the foot of driveways would Most Definitely make ‘OUR HOMES” look like the typical neighborhoods we all left behind !!

ADVISE:
a Quick Splash of [inexpensive] Ammonia before Tying Up Kitchen Waste Keeps ALL unwanted Scavenger's at Bay by Masking Odors !!
