I agree that blowing trash cans is a problem. Not everyone is home to bring the cans in promptly; for instance, we never are.

Up north, we have cans blowing everywhere. They actually create traffic hazards as they're rolling from one side of the street to the other . The trash hauling trucks are set up to lift the cans mechanically and dump them into the truck. Don't know if that's the case with TV trucks. I haven't noticed any trash cans south of 466, but I haven't looked for any, either!

We just do what they told us to do when we arrived.
