Same here. But I opted several years ago for 64 gallon trash and 64 gallon
recyclable cans. My neighborhood is a bit over 100 years old so we have
alleys and the trash guys have to roll our bins up to the truck and hook
them on the back. Then they are hoisted into the air and dumped. Out in
suburbs it's just one guy in the truck and the arm reaches out and picks
up the bin and empties it.

Makes you wonder how much two people can have in garbage each week the way
she writes about "having a bunch of bins lined up waiting for the collectors
in the week."
