Default trash = driveway or grass?

Hey there, I see people putting their trash on the grass or on the edge of the street as apposed to their driveways. Where do you put your trash and why? Inquiry minds want to know....thanks.

On the edge of road.

On the drive way, my wife will run over it.

On the grass, it will kill the grass.

I do the same thing - on the edge of the road. If I put it on the grass, it will kill the grass. If I put the trash on the driveway, Golfingnut's wife will run over it.

The edge of the road/curbside is best. The guys reach down and get it w/o getting off the truck.

I put it at the end of my driveway, near the street.

Here's the official answer.

End of the driveway - whether on the grass on the driveway is your choice. If it leaks when on the driveway, it messes up the driveway. If it leaks on the grass it is absorbed by the grass.

It is only going to be there for 8-10 hours. Good Grief!!!

End of the driveway as far to the side before grass.

I can't believe there are actually FAQs that include this topic! Thanks for the link, rayschic

My wife also puts in front of the curb so Golfingnut's wife won't run over it.

This is a rainy day question, you would have 50 replies by now.

Edge of the road cradled between the lawn and the driveway.

Not on the grass.
