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.

Also, IMHO a single black plastic trash can looks as good if not better than one or two trash bags, if you fairly promptly return the emptied can to you storage area. Before dispensing of the idea of using a trash can, I'd suggest that the homeowner check it out with WasteManagement to see if their area permits cans...

What area do you live in that trash cans are allowed? I am in Glenbrook and they are not allowed here. I have never seen trash cans by the curb for trash pickup anywhere - but I have not been to every corner of The Villages.

The wheelbarrow was on the driveway but NOT 10 or 15 feet away from the street....I learn something new every day!...Thanks....

On a side note, still looking for a replacement...Any used ones out there for sale?
