Just down the road in my community we have one can for trash one smaller can for recyclables, or you can use a yellow bucket provided also for recyclables, the trucks that are used have mechanical arm is that will pick up the cans and dump them into the trucks. The only request they have is to cut up cardboard boxes and flatten them out if it's more than one or two

Yes, non-Villagers understand what is done in the "Bubble" is ridiculous, absurd or whatever other adjective you want to apply to the trash system of using plastic bags. Sure Morse Family . . . keep adding more plastic into the landfill and ruining the environment even more. Waste Management knows what they are doing but the powers that be in The Villages just want to get off cheap by using a less caring company who charges less!

In addition, that The Villages does NOT recycle anything is shameful! :ohdear:

Education yes, bashing the Villages, No.
BTW do you fall in the non-villager category?

I have been a Villager twice and a non-Villager once.
I speak from mucho experience.

To Recycle Means . . .

With respect, it does not seem that you understand what the term “recycle” means.

Without going into a ten-page dissertation, I understand "recycle" to mean to re-use or to turn into another reusable product.

And you're telling me that The Villages trash is gone through to find recycled items such as steel, aluminum, cardboard, paper, plastic etc., and these items are recycled? Of course, we won't talk about the garbage that people put in with their trash, in addition to dog and cat poop, will we?

Yeah, right! :1rotfl:

If people used cans, they would be flying around during some of the storms we get here, besides , where would we put the cans ? And, as you know, some would just leave them out front and never move them....No thanks, I'll use bags.

Ok so how do keep the trash from stinking up the garage and preventing critters from getting in there.

a couple of streets from my last house , there was a can left out all day , was that you? I’ve lived places with the cans they stay out all day ,get blown all over the place and they stink up because many people never wash them , the other problem is the people who start leaving there thrash bags out around 2 pm the day before , I can’t figure out why and I know some people are leaving but most live here

Funny peculiar, not funny "ha ha".

Why are the TV residents responding to non-TV residents who use TV forum to bash our community?
And what is the fun of baiting and bashing TV and the residents on a website that is clearly meant for those that live here or want to?
Have they no better source of entertainment? Once they have been identified as non-residents who bait and bash TV and its residents, remember them, consider them trolls, ignore their posts and don't respond. Maybe they will lose interest and ....
