Say, Doofus, I've lived in the south. You put your trash/garbage in a
tied-up plastic garbage bag, and put it in the garbage can outside or
in the garage, and put the lid on the can. When the trash day
arrives, you carry or push the trash can out to the curb, and the
garbagemen (or whatever) empty the can into their truck, and leave
your empty, neat can and lid so you can put it away when you get
home. That's how it happens in MY neighborhood. Why would you be
fishing around in stinky garbage to have it picked up???
