Garbage bins
In response to our new member, I take umbrage in suggesting that The Villages is antiquated or uncivilized.
We have lived here 13 years and have not experienced plastic bag problems. Once in a blue moon something may escape from the truck as it leaves the area. I solve that problem by venturing outside and picking it up.
I put leftover chicken bones and other smelly items in a Ziplock back and put it in the freezer until pickup day. It takes a while to build up a habit of remembering to get it out on the right day.
I am closing in on 80 years. I don’t care if the bin has wheels or not. Not a fan of storing it somewhere either. We don’t generate enough waste to even put out bags twice a week. Maybe some residents should look at how much garbage they are producing to reduce their foot print instead of requesting bins that would certainly result in higher assessments for purchase new trucks and bins.
People leave where they came from for various reasons. I can’t believe that using black garbage bags means our area has not developed modern methods.
