I really do not want to put garbage in my car. Home pickup is great.

But what about dog poop?

What say you?

No Dumpsters. I for one do not want to be responsible for putting the pickup employees on unemployment. They work hard, and in all kinds of conditions. They pick up anything that you put out. They even helped me get stuff out of the garage that I was unable to move myself. They are working and not taking advantage of "the system".

We should be able to opt out of junk mail, like we do with our phone calls and e mails

The suggestion to put our trash in a dumpster is a good one. However, our postal stations, although convenient, would not be appropriate. The smell, mess, etc. would look very obnoxious in an area in plain view like our postal stations!!! This is my only problem with the 16 yrs. I've lived in The Villages. The people have no class! If someone wants this type of lifestyle, may I suggest moving to one of our sanctuary cities such as Los Angeles?

You said it first. Cannot even put a tiny sample for the vet in the trunk of the car without "smellover."

One thing I have never understood is why we need trash pickup 2 times per week. I have lived in several different cities and the trash pickup was always once per week. Certainly, if there were only one pickup per week, there would be some savings. I also agree that dumpsters at the postal stations is a bad idea.

We lived in rural Virginia and they had dumpsters in areas along the roads in pull off areas that were kept very neat and clean.

Every day on the way to work just stop and throw what you had in and be on your way in a minute.

I can't imagine having a trash bag full of rotting vegetable debris and bones and meat sitting in my garage in the Florida heat, especially the elevated heat in my garage, for a week. I hope they do not stop the twice-a-week pickup.

Please note what age you are talking about. Some of us can’t go “throwing” much.

Again, this is appropriate for rural not city type locations.

Did anyone from official sources actually suggested reducing our garbage service? I missed it if they had.

My experience with dumpsters is that they get filthy and SMELLY after just a little time in use. I would not like to live near one.

Worth looking into. It would cut labor costs, gas and maybe the number of trucks needed. I once lived in a condo complex, where the dumpsters were hidden by bushes. I never saw any messes around them. We would take our trash to the dumpsters twice a week. They also had recycle bins near the dumpsters. I imagine there would be some people who don't possess a personal responsibility system. Renters are a whole other issue.
