I guess I didn’t know that they didn’t push pickup back a day for a holiday but I guess they don’t. So each pick up runs about $2.50. Looking for $10 a year credit is worse than those that complain about amenity fees going up $2 a month.

Well they will sit and wait for you to open the garage look in and see you have the can.

Reality-Life is NOT fair.
Wife knows when the trash goes out and due to selective hearing she has resorted to taking it out herself.

Perhaps, we were trained by how bad it was at our previous home-ex New Yorkers.
We had cans that you bought yourself. They would drop trash all over the street. When, I got home from work I would get to search for mine and try to discover who owns the cans left on my property. Amusing-we had racoons. They used to break through the cans. I called the ASPCA and they sent a plan for a racoon proof garbage can shed.
The lady I spoke to said don't bother nothing is racoon proof. Here it seems the cayotes and crows have formed teams.

Was hoping for some traction on an issue in my neighborhood. I acquired 40-50 large blue trash bags for free and have noticed that they look so much nicer compared to my neighbor's use of white and black bags. It's worth noting that with the blue one cannot see the actual trash like one can with the white trash bags and doesn't hold the heat like the black bags. I don't want to force the entire Villages go to the blue bags....just my village and the 3-4 closest to me.

Yes, I’ve notified the District, but you know 1 voice only goes so far.
Not sure if, this is serious or not. Far as blue bags, I expect you are in violation of some rule.
Best to keep a low profile. Wrong color bags will tie some around here into a knot.

Same for us. Really surprised here, TWICE a week, if garbage day is a holiday, they pick it up the next day, but never had TWICE a week regular pick up and.... for HALF of what we paid in other locations for sanitation service. Everyone's experience is different, for some it's a great experience here, for others it doesn't measure up to where they lived previously ! Such is the world

Do you suppose that the OP has returned to read the responses? I always wonder if people wish they had not said that.
