Trash is picked up twice a week and recyclables are picked up once a week. Greens collection is once a week. Here's how it works....trash pickup on your first day, greens on Wednesday, trash and recyclables on your second trash pick up day. Here in Caroline it's Monday and Thursday for trash and recyclables. In Sable Chase it's Tuesday and Friday.

Now, what days are yours in Pennecamp, I don't know, but here's info on how you put out your trash.

Normal trash is put into plastic trash bags. Some days I use the large 33 gallon black ones, other days when I have little trash, I use the kitchen trash can ones. Recyclable materials are to be put out in clear trash bags. You have to make sure there is absolutely no other color on the bag, for instance, some clear bags have a red drawstring.....not the right kind of bag. Depending on what you could recycle where you currently live, you'll find it a bit different here. Not all plastics are recycled. Greens go out in large paper "greens" bags you can buy at the hardware store, grocery store, Sam's Club. Palm fronds can just be left whole with the greens and they'll be picked up.

Took just a short time to get used to not having hard containers for trash or recycling materials, but with plastic bags, once all the trash is picked up, you don't have trashcans sitting out till someone puts them away.
