I had never heard of garbage men taking the entire trashcan - that is good to know!
When you are only allowed to put out trash bags then yes anything else is considered trash. Also yard waste etc goes into paper landscape bags.

My wife has a habit of leaving bags of stuff she wants to keep, and yes, you guess
it, right next the our garbage can in the garage. :shocked:

"Honey, did you see the bag of flowers I bought and left here?" :pray:

Safe to say this is the most mileage a wheelbarrow has ever had.

I was flabbergasted! Maybe he tips them?
They sure deserve a tip for going above and beyond

Maybe there is a sign on the lid that says, "PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THE TRASH CAN".

Just a thought.

:ohdear::ohdear:
I have also seen trash cans being stored in the front of the house. Not a nice look.

Yard waste can also be put into plastic bags. I've stopped using the paper trash bags ever since the recycling for The Villages was changed. I forget the name of the company that incinerates all our trash and converts it all to energy for electricity.

It's Waste Management.

And I've seen the crows and hawks at the plastic bags again recently, they make a MESS out of peoples' garbage. We use plastic bags, but if I have a box from a delivery I put the bag in the box, rather than cutting up the box to put in the bag.

We sometimes put out our big plastic trash can, if we've been doing a lot of yard work or had more/heavier trash than usual (we'd put all the bags in the can, and roll the can to the curb). There's still a plastic bag in the garbage can, and we tie it up and the trash guy just lifts the bag right out.

It is not the trash companies rule that trash cans are not allowed, it is The Villages rule.

Cans not allowed, you can bundle your yard waste , or put it in a plastic bag. Another option is to take it to the dump yourself.
