Bogie is absolutely right. There is one house in Polo Ridge and one in Summerhill (that I know about, could be more) that have had their trash/recycle bags out since early Friday for pickup Monday morning. Those could have even possibly been put out on Thursday evening.

Not only is it unsightly, but an open invitation to a break-in. "Come on in....nobody home, and not gonna be for a while." Might as well just put a big sign in the yard! We, in our immediate neighborhood, put each other's trash/recycle out at the appropriate time if we/they are leaving town. Sometimes, if we have multiple bags to put out, we will put bags in front of houses we know are not occupied right then to give the appearance that they are occupied.
