Ooooh.. that drives me nuts but just as much as that is that in my
county, we have a choice of garbage pick up companies (3 or 4) and they
all use different days for pick ups. So it sometimes seems as if there
are cans somewhere on the street almost 3 days a week. Very annoying
when you think of it. I wish they'd organize it so that the entire
neighborhood used the same day (days) only.

I recall one house when I was growing up the garbage men came way up to
the house from the street and grabbed the cans, hauled them down to the
street and then returned them to the house where they sat on the side of
the garage. The homeowners didn't have to do anything ever but dump
their trash in. We have to roll our huge cans up to the curb nowadays.
We were so spoiled then and had no idea!
