I never thought I would say this about trash bags but here goes............

The black trash bags look more "dignified" than Walmart bags. We live in a nice neighborhood and I gladly pay for my trash bags.

Why don't the guys who pick up the trash take the pail too? They take everything that is put out on our block.

I prefer a designer trash bag we prefer the Vitton or Gucci brand they always stand out amongst others before getting crushed by compactor!

We use a white plastic bag because that is what my wife bought lots of when we moved in.

Would prefer a can but when in Rome >>>>

Would it be ok if we painted smiley faces on the black bags?:laugh:

All household waste should be placed in a sealed
tall kitchen trash bag or 20-30 gallon trash bag (any
color). All materials can be placed in the same bag,
no need to sort! The trash bags should be placed
together at the end of your driveway, no garbage
cans/bins are allowed (they will be disposed of
with household waste). Each bag should weigh no
more than forty (40) pounds. Bags must be placed
for collection before 6:00 a.m. on your collection
day or the night before (no sooner than 5:00 p.m.)
Collection times may vary. Deed Restrictions do not
allow leaving trash out on undesignated days. Wrap
broken glass or other sharp objects in newspaper
and place them where they cannot cause injury.
For a list of holidays that may affect your normal
collection day, please visit DistrictGov.org.

If you would like to see the above guidelines changed, you are always invited to attend a NSCUDD monthly meeting to ask questions and or make comments/suggestions. I am on the board and would welcome you to the meeting!

How are plastic bags shameful? All our trash gets incinerated and turned into energy.

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Walmart has black bags..

I have had that happen once or twice and I assumed they were trying to do me a favor assuming I didn't mean for it to be taken. I put it in a bag the next time - now it's gone :)

Sometimes.

I think that mostly happens when it a new neighborhood and everyone is moving in. It has happened also when someone sold and a new neighbor moved in. I haven't ever seen it last longer than a day or two.

I guess I think that is an acceptable neighborly thing to put up with occasionally. It is was all the time that would be different, but in our neighborhood (3 years now) it is the exception, not the normal.

No where near as disturbing to me as the lawn care people driving massive diesel pickups with huge trailers to bring all the equipment they need to mow and edge my neighbors postage stamp yard. Then they complain about the high cost of diesel to drive all over mowing yard... ahem.

Somewhere in Fenney..... :eek:

We put out bags every week, but not twice a week. We just don't use enough trash to need to empty the cans in the house that often. We also put the barrel out from outside, when it's full from a couple week's worth of grass clippings from the mower and trimmer, weeds from the garden, etc. But we put a plastic bag in the barrel first. And we tie the bag with the cover off the barrel. That's 2-3 times a month, less in the winter.

Our trash guys are terrific and seem to appreciate that we keep our trash to a minimum, unlike some people who have 4 or 5 kitchen garbage bags out there twice a week. Y'all use paper plates all the time or something? I swear I can't figure out how two retired older adults who don't throw parties can accumulate SO much trash all year round.
