We leave tasty treats at end of driveway. Racoon loved our garbage until we changed to garbage cans. Have you had critters visiting you?

We put our trash out early in the morning rather than leave it out all night, no critter problems.

Haven't had any critter problems in the 8 years we have lived in the villages. And we put our trash out at night. Bonita.

Also the night before in Bonita nol critters. However we have had people drive by and check out the items left at the curb which is fine by me!

We have lived here three years and have not had anything tear our trash bag in the last two years. Our trash does not have much "garbage" because we eat most everything we cook. If we have any food products, especially meat or fish papers or trimmings from meat, in the trash bag, we spray the inside with Lysol. We put ours out the night before.

We have a cat, and I make sure that used litter goes in any trash bag that has old meat bones or equal "treats", so far this has kept animals away from the trash.

Been here almost 10 yrs without any issues. We've put garbage out (mostly) late at night because even early, sometimes the truck beats us. Would rather chance the critter thing then have stinky garbage in the garage (even if put in a covered garbage container it could stink).

If you ever miss the truck just drive around and find them, stop a few houses in front of the truck and take it out of your trunk, they'll take it.

Really,??? No one had had a critter dig in those plastic or paper garbage bags, really??? In Orlando reports are different, maybe they have tastier garbage and theirs are in garbage cans that bears have found.

I will never understand why residents don't use their garbage disposal for "garbage" instead of throwing it in the trash.
I'm not speaking about things like corn cobs or steak bones -- only food items that can be ground up.

Never had any problems for 5 years, until our neighbor installed a bird feeder.

Neither have we, and we put it out at night as well. Also, when we had our welcome meeting, we were told if we put out a garbage can, the haulers would take the can along with the garbage. It seems TV is very serious about not having garbage cans.
